  • Abstract
    We report on drive-level capacitance profiling (DLCP) measurements made on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells. We observe that the deep level defect density and carrier concentration are correlated, with lower deep level defect densities and lower carrier concentrations associated with higher average Cu/III measured within the first half micron of the surface using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES).
