Sputtering Target for Solar Panels
A thin-film solar cell, classified as a second-generation solar cell, is fabricated by depositing one or more thin layers of photovoltaic material onto a substrate like glass, plastic, or metal. In the deposition process, sputtering targets or occasionally evaporation pellets serve as crucial source materials. Thin-film solar cells are commercially employed in various technologies, such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film, copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin film, and gallium arsenide (GaAs) thin film.
Solar panel sputtering targets, used in thin film deposition techniques, especially in sputtering, are source materials that contribute to the formation of thin films when deposited onto a substrate. Manufacturers can produce these Solar cell sputtering targets from a variety of materials, including metals, alloys, and ceramics. Gold sputtering targets are commonly used in the industry due to their excellent conductivity and biocompatibility. Processes such as semiconductor fabrication, solar cell production, and various coating applications rely on sputtering targets as essential components.
