Abstract

We report the growth and characterization of improved efficiency wide-bandgap ZnO/CdS/CuGaSe₂ thin-film solar cells. The CuGaSe ₂ absorber thickness was intentionally decreased to better match depletion widths indicated by drive-level capacitance profiling data. A total-area efficiency of 9-5% was achieved with a fill factor of 70-8% and a V_oc of 910 mV. Published in 2003 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
