Abstract

The density of deep defects at 0.8 eV above the valence band in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin films was investigated by a transient photocapacitance (TPC) method. A relatively quantitative comparison of deep defect densities showed that the defect density seems to increase with increasing Ga/III ratio. This could be one reason for the poor device performance of CIGS samples with high Ga content.
