Abstract

This paper reports on the investigation of multilayered Third Generation Photovoltaics by X-ray Reflectivity. This technique is well suited for the acquisition of thickness, density and roughness information in a non-destructive and statistical way. Fringes related to the inverse total thickness of the multilayer are observed allowing an accurate measurement of the growth rate as well as a possible annealing shrinkage. Some constructive interferences resulting from the periodicity of the multilayer can also be observed. A quantitative analysis is possible through data fitting. Results related to the main systems intended for Third Generation Photovoltaic purposes are presented.
