摘要
Alkali-free Cu(In,Ga)Se-2(CIGS) absorbers grown on Mo-coated alumina (Al2O3) substrates were doped with potassium (K) after CIGS growth by a potassium fluoride (KF) post-deposition treatment (PDT). The addition of K to the absorber leads to a strong increase in cell efficiency from 10.0% for the K-free cell to 14.2% for the K-doped cell, mainly driven by an increase in the open-circuit voltage V-oc and the fill factor FF, and to an increase in the net charge carrier density. Hence K doping by KF-PDT is comparable to doping with Na. (c) 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
