Features
- The solar cells are illuminated with variable light, either homogeneously over an area of 20 x 20 mm,
- or with a focussed spot of approx. 1 x 3 mm².
- Full area EQE & reflectance measurements by moving the 4 cm² illuminated area continuously.
- Monochromatic light between 280-1600 nm from monochromator (2 gratings, slit width and order filter changed automatically). Typically used bandwidth is 8 nm FWHM and the wavelength accuracy is 1 nm.
- White bias light up to 1.2 suns is restricted to the area of monochromatic illumination.
- Bias-ramp for automatic determination of the correct bias light intensity for quasi-absolute EQE measurements
- in only one wavelength scan. The procedure is also useful to check the linearity of the solar cell.
- The reflectance is measured under an 8° tilted beam of 2 x 2 cm² area with a BaSO4-coated integrating sphere.
- Batch mode for series of measurements under different conditions.
- The solar cells are held on a temperature controlled vacuum chuck (25 °C) which can be moved by a motorized
- x-y-z stage. The temperature is measured directly at the back of the solar cell.
- Transimpedance amplifier (max. 200 mA) holds solar cell at short circuit with remote sense
- and contact quality check.
- Automatic calibration of EQE and reflectance
- increases throughput and reduces the necessary time of operator interaction.
- makes the operation safer against human errors (misalignment, bias light, etc).
- avoids degradation of the reference solar cell by manual handling.
- Motorized contact-setting and change-over between EQE and reflectance measurements.
- Data analysis by comparison with analytical electrical and optical model.
- Duration:
- ca. 1 sec. per wavelength for spot measurement (2 x 2 cm²)
- ca. 9 sec. per wavelength for 12.5 x 12.5 cm² solar cell
- ca. 12 sec. per wavelength for 15.6 x 15.6 cm² solar cell
- EQE and reflectance mapping with focussed light spot (QMAP)
- within 5 min for a 15.6 x 15.6 cm² cell per map and wavelength.
