| Summary: | Upscaling perovskite solar cells and modules requires precise laser patterning for series interconnection and spatial characterization of cell parameters to understand laser–material interactions and their impact on performance. This study investigates the use of nanosecond (ns) and picosecond (ps) laser pulses at varying fluences for the P3 patterning step of perovskite solar cells. Hyperspectral photoluminescence (PL) imaging was employed to map key parameters such as optical bandgap energy, Urbach energy, and shunt resistance. The mappings were correlated with electrical measurements, revealing that both ns and ps lasers can be utilized for effective series interconnections with minimal performance losses at optimized fluences. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of fluence-dependent effects in P3 patterning. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the process window is robust, allowing for reasonable cell performance even with deviations from optimal parameters. This robustness, coupled with the scalability of the laser patterning process, emphasize its suitability for industrial module production. |
