β¦ Synopsis
In-rich CuIn(Ga)Se 2 thin films are characterized by optical and electrical measurements. The results are consistently explained in the Shklovskij/Efros model appropriate for highly defective and highly compensated semiconductors. The dominant radiative recombination is of tail-impurity type at low temperatures and low excitation powers, and of band-impurity type at high temperatures and/or high excitation densities. The analysis of the data yields that the impurity content is in the order of 10 18 cm Γ3 while the free carrier (hole) concentration at room temperature is in the order of 10 16 cm Γ3 . The impurity density increases with increasing deviation of the Cu/(In+Ga) ratio from stoichiometry.

A systematic study was carried out to investigate the distribution of sulfur (S) in CuInSe 2 (CIS) and Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) absorbers which were exposed to an H 2 S atmosphere at elevated temperature. Results demonstrated that S diusion into CIS layers was a strong function of the original stoichiom
