CuxInxZn2_2xSe2 ABSORBER LAYER CHARACTERISTICS OPTIMIZATION FOR THIN-FILM SOLAR CELLS
Abstract
The influence of the physical parameters of CuxInxZn2—2xSe2 films on the characteristics of Mo/CuxInxZn2—2xSe2/CdS/ZnO thin-film solar cells were investigated. The model developed is based on one-dimensional drift-diffusion approach using the Poisson’s equation and continuity equations for electrons and holes. It taking into accounts the buffer layer effect, zone bending and recombination at grain boundaries and other defects.
