The photovoltaic laboratory is a shared instrumentation facility open to industrial and academic clients on a fee-for-use basis. Facilities are located at both the University of Oregon and Oregon State University.
In collaboration with the Center for Advanced Materials Characterization in Oregon (CAMCOR), the SuNRISE PV lab is building a comprehensive suite of tools for the characterization of solar cells and solar cell materials. In the summer of 2012, the PV lab will expand into a new facility in the Lewis Integrative Science Building that is currently under construction.
The new facility will include:
- Tools for determination of solar cell parameters such as efficiency, fill factor, short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, and quantum efficiency.
- Instruments for electrical and electro-optical characterization of defects via deep-level transient spectroscopy and transient photocapacitance.
- Spectrophotometer for Optical characterization of devices and materials in the UV/vis/NIR regions of the spectrum.
- Thin film analysis by x-ray diffraction, ellipsometry, and physical probe techniques.
- Surface profiling through stylus (contact) and optical (3D non-contact) profilometers.
- Electron and ion beam tools for imaging and elemental analysis of materials, thin films, or device sections.
- Device processing laboratory for the fabrication of prototype photovoltaic devices.
Instrumentation includes:
