Abstract

In thin film polycrystalline CdS/CIGS heterojunction solar cells, understanding the intrinsic and interface defect properties is crucial to optimize their performances. In this paper, we focus our attention on the CdS/CIGS heterointerface at different stages of its formation. All investigations were carried out on CIGS co-evaporated samples elaborated in pilot-line conditions onto which the CdS layer was deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD). This latter chemical process involves the use of a NH ₃ solution that modifies the CIGS surface composition. In order to separate the respective role of the NH₃ bath and the CdS layer thickness, we have investigated samples elaborated with several NH₃ pretreatment time of CIGS surface prior to CdS deposition. Admittance spectroscopy was used to follow the evolution of the hetero-interface defects properties.
