Minority-carrier lifetime and efficiency of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells
1998
Room-temperature recombination dynamics has been investigated in a large set of different Cu(In,Ga)Se2 absorber films and compared to the electrical device characteristics of the respective solar cell modules. For a given cell preparation process, a characteristic relation between the low-injection minority-carrier lifetime of the absorber layers and the conversion efficiency of the solar cells is observed: Long lifetimes correlate with high open circuit voltages and conversion efficiencies, while no significant influence of the lifetime on the short circuit current is found.
