Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) solar cell fabricated by selenization of co-evaporated Cu-Zn-Sn-Se precursor thin film exhibited 6.2% conversion efficiency. Defects in the solar cell were investigated by temperature-dependent capacitance-voltage and admittance spectroscopy. Capacitance-voltage measurements showed that the p-type conductivity of CZTSe absorber layer was mainly attributed to two acceptor levels with activation energy of 0.02 eV and 0.11 eV. The admittance spectra exhibited capacitance steps that might have originated from a defect level with activation energy of 0.16 eV. The effects of these defects on the solar cell were discussed.
