Investigation of The Effect of High Pressure Sputter Method on Optical Properties of Density Modulated ITO Thin Films

Year 2019, Volume: 45 Issue: 2, 197 - 208, 30.10.2019

Abstract

Having a high quality transparent
conductive electrode is one of the critical parameters for high efficient
Si-based photovoltaic device. Indium tin oxide (ITO), used for this purpose,
also behaves as an anti-reflective coating. In this study, it was shown that
the density modulated ITO thin films obtained by the combination of the low
pressure sputter (LPS) and high pressure sputter (HIPS) layers behave
anti-reflective coating as improve the transmission. The density modulated thin
film whose upper layer was grown by HIPS has shown a more porous morphology and
lower transmission for all thickness values. Besides, it was also observed that
the omnidirectional reflection is lower. Additionally, the more homogenous
property of the synthesized silicon nanostructures on HIPS-ITO is another
beneficial finding. Thus, HIPS has claimed that it is a simple yet effective
way of producing more efficient ITO layer

Yüksek Basınç Saçtırma Yönteminin Yoğunluk Modülasyonlu İTO İnce Filmlerin Optik Özelliklerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract











Verimli
bir Si-tabanlı güneş hücresi için yüksek geçirgenliğe sahip saydam iletken
elektrot kullanmak önemli bir ayrıntıdır. Bu amaçla kullanılan indiyum kalay
oksit (
İTO) aynı zamanda yansıma önleyici kaplama görevini
de yerine getirir. Bu çalışmada, alçak basınç püskürtme (ABP) ve yüksek basınç
püskürtme (YBP) yöntemleri ile üretilen farklı malzeme yoğunluklarına sahip iki
katmanın bir araya getirilmesi ile oluşturulan yoğunluk modülasyonlu
İTO ince filmlerin yansıma önleyici olarak davrandığı ve geçirgenliği
düşürdüğü gösterilmiştir. YBP ile elde edilen
İTO ince filmin üst tabaka olarak kullanıldığı durumda morfolojisinin
daha pürüzlü hale geldiği ve her kalınlık değeri için geçirgenliğin daha yüksek
olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak, bu numunelerde çok yönlü yansımanın
daha düşük olduğu gösterilmiştir. YBP-
İTO katmanın üzerine sentezlenen nanoyapıların oldukça homojen olması
ayrıca bir avantajdır. Sonuç olarak, YBP yöntemi daha kullanışlı bir
İTO katmanı üretimi için basit ama etkili bir yöntem olduğunu
ispatlamıştır.
