Defect visualization of Cu(InGa)(SeS)2 thin films using DLTS measurement

چکیده
Defect depth profiles of Cu (In1-x,Gax)(Se1-ySy)2 (CIGSS) were measured as functions of pulse width and voltage via deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Four defects were observed, i.e., electron traps of ~0.2 eV at 140 K (E1 trap) and 0.47 eV at 300 K (E2 trap) and hole traps of ~0.1 eV at 100 K (H1 trap) and ~0.4 eV at 250 K (H2 trap). The open circuit voltage (VOC) deteriorated when the trap densities of E2 were increased. The energy band diagrams of CIGSS were also obtained using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and DLTS data. These results showed that the valence band was lowered at higher S content. In addition, it was found that the E2 defect influenced the VOC and could be interpreted as an extended defect. Defect depth profile images provided clear insight into the identification of defect state and density as a function of depth around the space charge region.

CONTROL OF COMPOSITION IN CO-EVAPORATED Cu(InGa)(SeS)2 THIN FILMS
Cu(InGa)(SeS)2 thin films have been prepared using multi source thermal co-evaporation. The incorporation of the volatile chalcogen species Se and S into the films depends on the fluxes of the evaporated species during growth and the relative [Cu]/[In+Ga] and [Ga]/[In+Ga] compositions. The dependence of the relative Se and S incorporation in Cu(InGa)(SeS)2 on the substrate temperature is charac...

Copper films (250 nm) deposited on glass substrates, at different substrate temperatures. Their optical properties were measured by ellipsometery (single wavelength of 589.3 nm) and spectrophotometery in the spectral range of 200–2600 nm. Kramers Kronig method was used for the analysis of the reflectivity curves of Cu films to obtain the optical constants of the films, while ellipsometery measu...

The Boltzmann equation is a semiclassical approach to the calculation of the electrical conductivity. In this work we will first introduce a simple model for calculation of thin film resistivity and show that in an appropriate condition the resistivity of thin films depends on the electron mean free path, so that studying and measurement of thin films resistivity as a function of film thickne...
