摘要
Capacitance-voltage (C-V) and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements have been carried out on heterojunction ZnO/CdS/Cu(In1-xGax)Se-2 solar cells with different Ga content. These cells were fabricated on polished monocrystalline samples prepared by the Bridgman method. The C-V measurements indicated a significant effect of interface or surface states, especially for the non-annealed samples. Different hole deep levels and different shapes of DLTS spectrum were found in Cu(In1-xGax)Se-2 crystals with different Ga content. It is believed that Ga content has a great impact in the formation, of deep levels in Cu(In1-xGax)Se-2 crystals. The DLTS results combined with the conversion efficiencies of the solar cells indicate the interfacial states could dominate the cell performance rather than the deep levels in the semiconductor.
