摘要
This work presents a study concerning the numerical optimization of a buffer layer for high efficiency CIGS solar cells. The dependence of the solar cell properties on the buffer layer material, the layer thickness, the type and density of defects within the same layer were numerically investigated and analysed. Promising results were obtained with alternative Cd-free buffer layers (ZnSnO, InS and ZnS) in place of the standard CdS.
