Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of fabricating a flexible photovoltaic film cell with an iron diffusion barrier layer. The method includes: providing a foil substrate including iron; forming an iron diffusion barrier layer on the foil substrate, where the iron diffusion barrier layer prevents the iron from diffusing; forming an electrode layer on the iron diffusion barrier layer; and forming at least one light absorber layer on the electrode layer. A flexible photovoltaic film cell is also provided, which cell includes: a foil substrate including iron; an iron diffusion barrier layer formed on the foil substrate to prevent the iron from diffusing; an electrode layer formed on the iron diffusion barrier layer; and at least one light absorber layer formed on the electrode layer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a flexible photovoltaic film cell with an iron diffusion barrier layer, the method comprising the steps of: providing a foil substrate comprising iron; forming an iron diffusion barrier layer on said foil substrate, wherein said iron diffusion barrier layer prevents said iron from diffusing to at least one light absorber layer, and wherein the iron diffusion barrier layer comprises a chemical compound selected from a group consistin…
