Quantum efficiency and admittance spectroscopy on Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 solar cells
We investigate the electronic transport properties of Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 solar cells by means of quantum efficiency and temperature dependent admittance spectroscopy. A simple evaluation scheme of quantum efficiency data is introduced which accounts for recombinatoric losses in the CdS buffer layer and in the Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 absorber. By admittance spectroscopy, we find that the controlled incorporation of Na into the absorber material leads to a shallow acceptor state at about 75 meV above the valence band.
