Abstract

See full text

Precursor layers and methods of forming Group IBIIIAVIA solar cell absorbers with bandgap grading using such precursor layers are described. The Group IBIIIAVIA absorber includes a top surface with a Ga/(Ga+In) molar ratio in the range of 0.1-0.3. The Group IBIIIAVIA solar cell absorber is formed by reacting the layers of a multilayer material structure which includes a metallic film including Cu, In and Ga formed on a base, a layer of Se formed on the metallic film, and a second metallic layer substantially including Ga formed on the layer of Se.
