Arrays Of Ultrathin Silicon Solar Microcells

US Patent:
2011027, Nov 17, 2011
Filed:
Sep 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/120486
Inventors:
John A. Rogers - Champaign IL, US
Angus A. Rockett - Urbana IL, US
Ralph Nuzzo - Champaign IL, US
Jongseung Yoon - Los Angeles CA, US
Alfred Baca - Urbana IL, US
International Classification:
H01L 31/042
H01L 31/02
H01L 31/0264
US Classification:
136244, 136261, 438 57, 438 80, 257E3111
Abstract:
Provided are solar cells, photovoltaics and related methods for making solar cells, wherein the solar cell is made of ultrathin solar grade or low quality silicon. In an aspect, the invention is a method of making a solar cell by providing a solar cell substrate having a receiving surface and assembling a printable semiconductor element on the receiving surface of the substrate via contact printing. The semiconductor element has a thickness that is less than or equal to 100 μm and, for example, is made from low grade Si.

Hybrid Method For Depositing Semi-Conductive Materials

US Patent:
5439575, Aug 8, 1995
Filed:
Jun 30, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/213698
Inventors:
John A. Thornton - late of Champaign IL
Timothy Lommasson - Champaign IL
Angus Rockett - Champaign IL
Assignee:
Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois - Champaign IL
International Classification:
C23C 1434
US Classification:
20419225
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and apparatus for depositing alloy films useful in manufacturing photovoltaic solar cells. In the preferred embodiment an alloy comprising copper, indium, and selenium is deposited on a substrate. Sputtering is utilized to provide the copper and indium, with the selenium being provided by evaporization. Other alloys may also be formed using the disclosed apparatus and techniques.

Multi-Phase Back Contacts For Cis Solar Cells

US Patent:
5477088, Dec 19, 1995
Filed:
May 12, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/060284
Inventors:
Angus A. Rockett - Champaign IL
Li-Chung Yang - Urbana IL
International Classification:
H01L 2348
H01L 2946
H01L 2962
H01L 2964
US Classification:
257764
Abstract:
Multi-phase, single layer, non-interdiffusing M-Mo back contact metallized films, where M is selected from Cu, Ga, or mixtures thereof, for CIS cells are deposited by a sputtering process on suitable substrates, preferably glass or alumina, to prevent delamination of the CIS from the back contact layer. Typical CIS compositions include CuXSe. sub. 2 where X is In or/and Ga. The multi-phase mixture is deposited on the substrate in a manner to provide a columnar microstructure, with micro-vein Cu or/and Ga regions which partially or fully vertically penetrate the entire back contact layer. The CIS semiconductor layer is then deposited by hybrid sputtering and evaporation process. The Cu/Ga-Mo deposition is controlled to produce the single layer two-phase columnar morphology with controllable Cu or Ga vein size less than about 0. 01 microns in width. During the subsequent deposition of the CIS layer, the columnar Cu/Ga regions within the molybdenum of the Cu/Ga-Mo back layer tend to partially leach out, and are replaced by columns of CIS.
