4- I-V Measurement Systems
An I-V Measurement
System measures I-V curves of solar cells and calculates critical cell
performance parameters including Short circuit current (Isc), Open
circuit voltage (VOC),
Fill Factor (FF), Maximum current (Imax), Maximum voltage (Vmax), Maximum power (Pmax), and
Efficiency (n).
5- Shimadzu UV-VIS spectrophotometer
6-Thin Film measurements
The Thin Film measurement system is based on white
light interference measurement to determine optical thickness. This white light
interference pattern is translated through mathematical functions into optical
thickness calculation. For single layer systems the physical thickness can then
be calculated when the n and k values of the materials are known.
7-Electrodeposition System
Electrodeposition has the following advantages
over conventional methods;
(1) thickness and morphology of films can be precisely controlled
by adjusting electrochemical parameters such as current or potential, (2) relatively uniform and compact
thin films can be synthesized either on substrates of complex shapes or in
column shaped material, (3) higher deposition rates can be
easily obtained over conventional processing, and (4) the equipment required is inexpensive
owing to the nonrequirement of either high vacuum or high reaction temperature.
