The open circuit voltage Voc of CuInS2 solar cells was found to improve via incorporation of gallium. The Cu(In,Ga)S2 absorber of the samples studied in this work was prepared by sputtering (Cu,Ga) and In precursors subsequently sulfurized via rapid thermal processing (RTP) in sulfur vapor. Distinctive top/bottom CuInS2/CuGaS2 segregation has been observed which extent depends on the substrate temperature and holding time of the temperature during RTP-process. The insufficient gallium accumulation at the surface impedes high values of Voc.We studied the consequences of RTP-process parameter variation in regard of the interdiffusion of CuInS2 and CuGaS2. Quantum efficiency (QE) and temperature-/illumination-dependent current-voltage (IV) profiling have been carried out for differently processed samples. These measurements provide the minimum band gap Eg of the graded absorber layer, the temperature dependent Voc and the activation energy Ea for carrier recombination. Drive level capacitance (DLCP) profiling reveals the spatially resolved in-depth variation of the doping/defect concentration close to the space charge region.
