Direct Current-Voltage Measurements of the Mo/CuInSe2 Contact on Operating Solar Cells

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Many high efficiency CuInSe/sub 2/ based solar cells show blocking or non-ohmic contact behavior in their current-voltage characteristic which has often been attributed to the Mo/CulnSe/sub 2/ back contact. A novel device configuration is presented which allows the current-voltage characteristic of the Mo/CuInSe/sub 2/ junction to be analyzed separately from the rest of the operating solar cell.Direct measurements of the back contact on operating CuInSe/sub 2/ contact is ohmic with negligible contact resistance compared to the total series resistance of the device.
