  • Abstract
    In this paper we use the combination of solution deposited liquid precursors and rapid optical processing (ROP) to make CIGS. The ROP process takes less than 1 minute of heating to convert the precursor stack to CIGS. Device made with ROP rival performance of device processed using field assisted simultaneous synthesis and transfer FASST® processing.
