Fabrication of Thin III-V Solar Cells on Ni Films using Electroless Ni Deposition
Thin solar cells are inherently fragile, and must be properly supported during fabrication, handling and use. Metal films can provide this support, but accomplishing this can be challenging. Here we describe a method for fabricating thin III-V solar cells on Ni films, using electroless deposition to deposit a thick (10-50 µm) Ni film onto the bottom of an inverted III-V solar cell prior to substrate removal. Cells have been fabricated on both rigid and flexible supports with no loss of performance when compared to cells processed using standard inverted-cell processing.
