Abstract
Environmental test results performed with chemically thinned, lightweight CuInSe/sub 2/ (CIS) space power solar cells are presented. CIS solar cells, which were fabricated by a chemical thinning process after CIS device structures had been formed on thick substrates, produced high efficiency devices. Pyroshock/random vibration, off-angle and thermal cycling tests were conducted with test conditions matching or exceeding the requirement for the PASP Plus space flight experiment. All phases of testing were monitored and produced favorable results. Electrical performance and physical inspection confirm its viability for space power applications. Environmental test procedures as well as the test results obtained are described in detail.
