The institute pursues the fabrication and optimization of novel thin film solar cells, and their characterization in terms of process yield, reliability, and conversion efficiency. At the core of the activities is the technology for preparation of Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 compound semiconductor thin films and complete photovoltaic modules at the laboratory scale. The fabrication of thin films is supported by the development of suitable process control and in-situ analytical techniques. Activities include structural, morphological, and optoelectronic characterization of layers and complete solar cells. Simulation tools are employed in conjunction with optoelectronic characterization of solar cells.
