Abstract :
Field assisted simultaneous synthesis and transfer FASST method is used in conjunction with liquid precursors to produce CIGS solar cells. Performance of CIGS cells using liquid precursors is on par with the performance of cells produced from PVD precursors. The FASST process has yielded up to 14% efficiency devices.
