摘要
Substrate temperature has very important influences on the performance of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin film solar cells. In this paper, CZTSe absorbers and solar cells prepared by co-evaporation process at different substrate temperatures are investigated. XRD results show additional reflections of SnSex of films deposited at substrate temperature(380℃). SEM measurements reveal that the quality of crystallization of CZTSe films improves with increasing substrate temperatures; meanwhile the open circuit voltage increases due to decreased grain-boundary recombination. However, J-V tests show that the efficiency of CZTSe solar cells fabricated at 460℃ is lower. The reason might be that CZTSe film growth starts with the formation of ZnSe at higher substrate temperature (460℃). And the ZnSe could form a barrier at the back contact which could reduce the short circuit current and fill factor. The best solar cell with an efficiency of 3.12% is obtained at medium substrate temperature of 420℃(active area 0.34 cm2). © 2019, Science Press. All right reserved.
