ABSTRACT

The thin film technology offers many advantages like low cost, less material consumption, and many more. Thin film technology shows the potential to open a technological route for competing with conventional power generation especially for photovoltaic application. Thin films of organic and inorganic materials like fullerenes, polymers, metal oxides, or perovskites can open the door to next generation of solar cell technology. Different processing routes and material combinations are presented and their performances are discussed.
