Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) Sputtering Targets

Photovoltaic (PV) cells are made from semiconductors of which two types, crystalline silicon and thin film, are currently the most popular. Crystalline silicon is the most common type in use due to their history of development and the large number of companies manufacturing various types of silicon based panels. They dominated the world solar panel market.

Realizing that there are new technologies available and that silicon panel development is close to reaching its maximum efficiency level, plus the fact that silicon based panels have several long-term and short-term performance shortcomings has led to great interest in non silicon technologies.

In the thin film non-silicon area the main types of PV cells presently in the market are CIS (copper, indium, selenium) and CIGS (copper, indium, gallium, selenium). The third and currently the type that has the largest share of the thin film market is CdTe.

CIGS solar cells have 5 main competitive advantages over other solar cell types, which are: best light absorption, short energy payback time, high stability regarding photoelectric generation, high photovoltaic conversion efficiency and low cost.
