1Photovoltaics. Lecture 6. CIGS.

From previous lecture:

Contacts resistance and recombination.

TOM TIEDJE et al., IEEE TRANS. ON EL. DEVICES, VOL. ED-31, NO. 5 , MAY 1984

Thickness dependant efficiency.

Useful recombination limits.

2Photovoltaics. Lecture 6. CIGS.

Few words on amorphous Si:

Semi-direct band gap,with exponential edges.

Absorption up to 2.5 times higher than in crystalline Si.

Hydrogen improves properties.
