Thin Film Deposition Techniques

  • Chapter
Thin Film Solar Cells

Abstract

As already pointed out in Chapter 1, a deposition technique and its associated process parameters have a characteristic effect on the nucleation- and growth-dominated microstructure of a thin film and thereby on its physical properties. Two-dimensional materials of thicknesses ranging from angstroms to hundreds of micrometers can be prepared by a host of so-called thin film as well as thick film techniques. The latter methods involve the preparation of thin materials from a paste or liquid form of the bulk material. The two sets of techniques yield thin film materials of widely different microstructures and properties.
