  • Abstract
    Recent results are reported for 1 cm2 cells with active area efficiencies of 12.4%. The optoelectronic properties of window layers are expected to affect the cell parameters, especially the J sc and series resistance values of ZnO/CdS/CuInSe2 structures. It is demonstrated that in addition to these more conventional effects, the deposition technique used for the CdS film growth also influences the quality of the CdS/CuInSe2 junction which is represented by the diode factor value
