Abstract:
A method ( 200 ) for fabricating thin-film optoelectronic devices ( 100 ), the method comprising: providing a substrate ( 110 ), forming a back-contact layer ( 120 ); forming at least one absorber layer ( 130 ) made of an ABC chalcogenide material, adding at least one alkali metal ( 235 ), and forming at least one cavity ( 236, 610, 612, 613 ) at the surface of the absorber layer wherein forming of said at least one cavity is by dissolving away from said surface of the absorber layer at least one crystal aggregate comprising at least one alkali crystal comprising at least one alkali metal. The method ( 200 ) is advantageous for more environmentally-friendly production of photovoltaic devices ( 100 ) on flexible substrates with high photovoltaic conversion efficiency and faster production rate.

Claim (Index 13):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cavities have a mean cavity area in a range from about 0.1\u00d710 \u221215  m 2  to about 0.8\u00d710 \u221215  m 2 .
