Abstract

On prépare une photopile (10) ayant un rendement de conversion global de 13,6 % à partir d'une couche (18) d'un précurseur constitué d'un diséléniure de cuivre-indium-gallium. Pour fabriquer ladite couche (18), on revêt un substrat constitué de verre/molybdène (12, 14) par électrodéposition simultanée de cuivre, d'indium, de gallium et de sélénium. La tension d'électrodéposition est une tension en courant alternatif haute fréquence superposée à une tension en courant continu, ce qui améliore la morphologie et la vitesse de croissance de la couche (18). L'électrodéposition est suivie d'un procédé physique de dépôt en phase gazeuse, ce qui permet de régler la stoechiométrie finale de la couche mince (18) sur approximativement Cu(In1-x,Gax)Se2, le rapport Ga/(In+Ga) étant de 0,39 environ.
