Solar cells based on Sb2Se3 grown by chalcogenization of Sb thin films, using a novel designed furnace by Gerardo Gordillo, Oscar Torres, Alvaro I. Mendez, Julian C. Pena-Bermudez

“…The entire process was automatically controlled using algorithms developed in the LabView programming environment. Through a study of deposition conditions which included the effect of variables such as, furnace heating rate, final annealing target temperature, annealing time and partial pressure of H2+Ar mixture, conditions were found to grow single-phase Sb2S3 films with good structural, optical and morphological properties, which indicates that the Sb2S3 films prepared by the chalcogenisation routine developed in this work, can be used as an absorber layer in solar cells. …”
