Paper Abstract
Flexible packages provide several advantages of lightweight, ease of storage, and deployment, and possibility of using
roll-to-roll coating in the manufacture. Of the flexible cells that can be used in flexible packages, organic solar cells are
very vulnerable to degradation under exposure to humidity, oxygen and other atmospheric gases, and CIGS and CdTe
are somewhat vulnerable. CIGS cell vulnerability to moisture and other atmospheric gases is being reduced by chemical
treatment. Multiple pairs of organic/inorganic layers termed dyad's that are being developed for providing protection to
considerably more vulnerable organic light emitting diodes are being tested successfully with CIGS flexible modules.
Multiple layers of extremely dense coatings prepared by atomic layer deposition that are being developed for providing
protection to organic light emitting diodes are also being tried with CIGS cells. It would be essential to reduce the
overall cost of individual or combined schemes for achieving economic viability.
