Flexible Cu(In, Ga)Se2 Thin-Film Solar Cells on Polyimide

As a result, when the CIGS film growth temperature is below 400° C, the three-stage process is inefficient for solar cells. By using the one-stage co-evaporation process, the flexible CIGS solar cell on a PI substrate with the best conversion efficiency of 6.38% is demonstrated (active area 0.16 cm 2 ).
