Abstract

Cu(In,Ga)Se~2~(CIGS) films were characterized by time‐resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) on performances of solar cells. Open circuit voltage and efficiency of the solar cells increased with increasing the TRPL lifetimes meausred at 77 K and room temperature. The results at 77 K show that the CIGS films with the TRPL lifetime of over 30 ns achieve an efficiency of exceeding 15% of the solar cells. Dependence of the TRPL lifetime on the photon energy was observed on the CIGS film with high efficiency at both temperatures. This dependence is discussed on localization of exited carriers and non‐radiative centres. The minority carrier lifetime which dominates the solar cell performances can be characterized by not only the TRPL lifetime but its dependence on the photon energy.

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

## Abstract Cu(In,Ga) (S,Se)~2~ thin films were fabricated by sequential evaporation from CuGaSe~2~, CuInSe~2~ and In~2~S~3~ compounds for photovoltaic device applications. From XRF analysis, the Cu:(In + Ga):(S + Se) atomic ratio in all thin films was approximately 1:1:2. As the [In~2~S~3~]/([CuGa
