Magnetron sputtering has become an effective method in SbSe thin film photovoltaic. Research found that post-selenization treatments are essential to produce stoichiometric thin films with desired crystallinity and orientation for the sputtered SbSe. However, the influence of the sputtering process on SbSe device performance has rarely been explored. In this work, the working pressure effect was thoroughly studied for the sputtered SbSe thin film solar cells. High-quality SbSe thin film was obtained when a bilayer structure was applied by sputtering the film at a high (1.5 Pa) and a low working pressure (1.0 Pa) subsequently. Such bilayer structure was found to be beneficial for both crystallization and preferred orientation of the SbSe thin film. Lastly, an interesting power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.5% was obtained for the champion device.
磁控溅射已成为制备SbSe薄膜光伏器件的一种有效方法。研究发现,后硒化处理对于为溅射的SbSe制备具有所需结晶度和取向的化学计量薄膜至关重要。然而,溅射工艺对SbSe器件性能的影响鲜有研究。在这项工作中,对溅射的SbSe薄膜太阳能电池的工作压力效应进行了深入研究。通过先后在高工作压力(1.5 Pa)和低工作压力(1.0 Pa)下溅射制备双层结构薄膜时,可获得高质量的SbSe薄膜。发现这种双层结构有利于SbSe薄膜的结晶和择优取向。最后,该最佳器件获得了5.5%的可观功率转换效率。
