3 Acknowledgements Dr. Tumaini Mkwizu, PhD work on ECALD Ms. Nikiwe Kunjuzwa, PhD student- ECALD and batteries Prof. Kenneth Ozoemena, Research group leader and electrochemist Dr Mkhulu Mathe, Competence area manager, electrochemist and ECALD expert
4 Crystalline Thin Films Application Historical: light absorber material CdTe, crystalline Si Modern: light absorber material Solar cells Cu, In, Ga, Se (CIGS)- developed by Vivian Alberts and UJ - low material cost in potentially low fabrication costs Growth methodologies Molecular beam epitaxy/ chemical vapour deposition Disadvantages: expensive equipment, use toxic precursors, Vacuum and High Temperature Electrochemical methods: co-deposition, precipitation Disadvantages: lack of control during deposition
5 What is ECALD? Definition: alternated electrodeposition of atomic layers of elements on a substrate, employing under-potential deposition (UPD) in which one element deposits onto another element at a voltage prior to that necessary to deposit the element onto itself. Advantages: ambient temperature, use small concentrations of precursor solutions, optimized solutions and potential separately Offers atomic layer control- fundamental for controlled growth processes
