摘要：

In this study, Cu(In, Ga)Se-2 solar cells with a high bandgap (1.31 eV) and a flat Ga profile ([Ga]/([Ga]+[In]) approximate to 0.60) were examined. For absorber layer thicknesses varying from0.60 to 1.45 mu m, the Mo rear contact of one set of samples was passivated with an ultrathin (27 nm) Al2O3 layer with point contact openings, and compared with reference samples where the rear contact remained unpassivated. For the passivated samples, mainly large gains in the short-circuit current led to an up to 21% (relative) higher power conversion efficiency compared with unpassivated cells. The differences in temperature-dependent current voltage behavior between the passivated and the unpassivated samples and the thin and the thick samples can be explained by an oppositely poled secondary photodiode at the rear contact.
