A jig for a sample for a solar photovoltaic device is disclosed. The jig includes a cradle unit supporting the sample and a contact unit including at least one probe pin coming into contact with a busbar of the sample located in the cradle unit. The contact unit includes a coupling plate coupled with the cradle unit and at least one contact bar including a PCB and connected to the coupling plate, the contact bar having at least one probe pin aligned with the busbar of the sample with interposition of a probe pin connecting block. the jig includes a rotation support unit coupled with the cradle unit by a rotation shaft to allow the cradle unit to be rotated at an angle of 180&#xb0; or greater so that upper and lower surfaces of the sample supported by the cradle unit are reversed.

Disclosed is a crucible that exhibits stable evaporation efficiency and durability with respect to Al, is used in an evaporation source of an electron-beam evaporator, and includes a storage unit, which includes a wall and a bottom and in which a deposition material is placed, and a wetting prevention unit that includes another wall, which is taller than the wall of the storage unit, and another bottom, and is combined with an exterior of the storage unit. The wetting prevention unit is provided so that only the wall of the storage unit is wet with Al, and accordingly, the lifespan of the crucible is lengthened. Further, contact with the ceramic material in order to prevent wetting is minimized, thereby preventing a reduction in the physical properties of the thin film due to the impurities mixed with the deposited Al.

Disclosed is a method of forming a chalcogen compound thin film suitable for use in a light-absorption layer of a solar cell. The method includes manufacturing a precursor liquid including an Sn precursor material and an S precursor material, applying the precursor liquid to form a precursor film, and heat-treating the precursor film. The Sn precursor material and the S precursor material are liquid materials. The present invention provides a method of forming a chalcogen compound thin film using a liquid precursor material without a sulfurization process, thereby forming a high-quality SnS thin film at low cost using a process which is suitable for mass production. Further, the light-absorption layer is formed using a process which is suitable for mass production, thus enabling the manufacture of a solar cell including the chalcogen compound thin film at low cost.
