Material utilisation when depositing CdTe layers by inline AP-MOCVD
This work (EPSRC funded PV Supergen(( EP/F029624/1))) demonstrated the feasibility to consider an alternative high-throughput process for depositing CdTe while maintaining superior quality and utilisation of materials. This is important as materials used are a driving force for reduction of PV. The outcomes reported here contributed to securing additional funding with the SPARC Cymru project, funded by the European Convergence Region Programme LCRI. An inline chamber-less system has now been developed as a demonstrator for atmospheric pressure MOCVD, where a joint patent between Glyndŵr University and Scanwel Ltd has been filed (8/02/2013 - UK Patent Application no: GB1302306.4).
