Abstract

The relationship between lifetime measured by time-resolved photoluminescence on bare CIGS films and subsequent device performance is examined. A correlation between device voltage and lifetime is demonstrated. The effects of measured band gap and carrier density are discussed. Results are compared with fundamental calculations.
