摘要
Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)(4) (CZTSSe) is emerged as a promising material because of non-toxic, inexpensive and earth abundant more than Cu(In,Ga)Se-2. The highest conversion efficiency of CZTSSe is 11.1 % at IBM based on hydrazine process [1]. We have achieved CZTSSe thin-film solar cell 8% conversion efficiency by sputtering process. CZTSSe thin-films show different efficiency depending on selenization process. Depending on the different selenization process, conversion efficiencies in each sample are definitely distinguished from 8.06 to 3.17%. We investigated local electrical properties on these samples. The local surface potential is also critically different, which is similar to 200 mV on 8.06% film and similar to 70 mV on 3.17% film. From these results, we can suggest that selenization process can affect to local electrical characteristic as well as improving solar cell performances.
