Development of ZnSnON as a Potential Earth Abundant Solar Cell Material
This work focuses on growing ZnSnON via deposition from zinc oxide and tin oxide targets in a reactive nitrogen environment as a potential inexpensive solar material. The deposition chamber growth conditions, primarily the temperature and nitrogen content, were varied to optimize the optical and electrical properties for use as a solar absorber. These targets produced
