Abstract

We describe results of density of states (DOS) profiling in p-i-n solar-cell devices using drive-level capacitance (DLC) techniques. Near the p-i interface the defect density is high, decreasing rapidly into the interior, reaching low values in the central region of the cell, and rising rapidly again at the n-i interface. We show that the states in the central region are neutral dangling-bonddefects, whereas those near the interfaces with the doped layers are charged dangling bonds.
