Objective
This innovative project will create a pilot production line capable of producing CIGSe solar cells for much less than 1/Wp. This is possible not by roll-to-roll production, but instead by passing many small circular substrates through a small vacuum chamber at very high speed, enabled by a load lock and other high speed automation techniques and experience from the optical disc industry. The use of small circular substrates gives advantages in everything from handling and production-yield to interconnection of cells as well as encapsuling. The project will focus on productivity (Cost/Wp) as compared to the more common focus on conversion efficiency. The CIGSe absorbance layer will be deposited by sputtering, a technique widely used 10 years ago for CIS deposition. The risks and problems with Selenium sputtering has been given special attention as is described in the Work Plan, Risks in Stage 2. Another innovation utilized in this project is the use of a zone-point-melting technique as a post treatment proc
