The objective of this report is to generally understand the fabrication process and the characterization method of the inorganic solar cells and the organic solar cells. The PIN device is fabricated for the inorganic solar cells and P3HT:PCBM blend is used for the organic solar cells. The characterization process is done by various tools.
In the beginning of this course, we understood the basic fundamentals and methods of characterization process. After that, we fabricated and characterized those devices. For the PIN inorganic devices, we used the ZnO as the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) with the different contact materials of indium tin oxide (ITO) and Al, respectively. For the organic devices, we used the P3HT:PCBM and P3HT:PCBM with the special additive as the active layers, respectively. Finally, we characterized our devices optically (ellipsometry), physically (profilometer), and electrically (dark/photo J-V characteristics, external quantum efficiency, EQE).
