“…Increased crystallite size was determined due to annealing, which means that films passed from an amorphous to a polycrystalline state. The detected crystallite size is consistent with those of other studies in the literature [18,36]. The inter-planar distance (d) calculations are similar to those obtained by Jain et al [17], and the lattice constant (a) calculations are similar to those obtained by Dongol et al [19].…”

“…Because the CdTe stable phase is the cubic it is proposed that the CdTe-300 and CdTe:Cu-100 samples have cubic structure. 12 Therefore, the CdTe:Cu-300 sample has the hexagonal CdTe phase. It is important to note that the diffractograms of the CdTe-300 and CdTe:Cu-100 are very similar, while the diffractograms of the CdTe:Cu films grown at 200 and 300 • C present additional diffraction peaks which correspond to hexagonal phase.…”

“…PLD has been a competitive tool to grow thin films with well-defined complex stoichiometries. Photovoltaic-relevant materials (e.g., ZnO, CdTe, ZnS) have also been grown by PLD [30][31][32]. The chances of this technique entering the PV market, however, remain poor as upscaling is difficult.…”

We review laser applications in thin-film photovoltaics (thin-film Si, CdTe, and Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 solar cells). Lasers are applied in this growing field to manufacture modules, to monitor Si deposition processes, and to characterize opto-electrical properties of thin films. Unlike traditional panels based on crystalline silicon wafers, the individual cells of a thin-film photovoltaic module can be serially interconnected by laser scribing during fabrication. Laser scribing applications are described in detail, while other laserbased fabrication processes, such as laser-induced crystallization and pulsed laser deposition, are briefly reviewed. Lasers are also integrated into various diagnostic tools to analyze the composition of chemical vapors during deposition of Si thin films. Silane (SiH 4 ), silane radicals (SiH 3 , SiH 2 , SiH, Si), and Si nanoparticles have all been monitored inside chemical vapor deposition systems. Finally, we review various thin-film characterization methods, in which lasers are implemented.
