University of Bristol awarded a contract to Beneq for the procurement of an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) tool for thin-film photovoltaic devices, valued at £155,000.

The tool supports scalable solution processing of active materials in inorganic thin-film solar cells, including Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 and CuIn(S,Se)2 absorbers and buffer layers for charge extraction under solar irradiation.

The ALD tool is pivotal in engineering the absorber/buffer interface atom by atom, which is key to maximising device output voltage.
