摘要
In this paper we report the 15.4%- and 13.4%-efficient CuIn1-xGaxSe2 (CIGS)-based devices from electrodeposited (ED) and electroless deposited (EL) precursors. The efficiency of the device prepared from electroless precursor film has been improved from 12.4% to 13.4%. The dependence of quantum efficiencies on reverse-bias voltage has been measured for a 15.4%-efficient ED device, 18.8%-efficient physical-vapor-deposited device, and 14.2%-efficient Cd-free device. The purpose of this work is to explore and improve the current collection mechanism. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
