Photoluminescence (PL) has been studied on high-efficiency CdS/CIGS solar cells. The sample layers were illuminated by a HeNe-Laser in a PL setup with a spot size of 1mm and in a micro-PL (µPL) setup, where the laser beam was focused by a microscope objective down to reach a spatial resolution of ∼1 µm at the focal spot on the sample. The samples were mounted in a LHe flow cryostat and studied as a function of temperatures from 3.5 to 300 K.
Photoluminescence spectra were measured from the front and the back site of the Cu(In,Ga)Se2 absorber layers and different peak energies were detected corresponding to the typical band-gap grading of CIGS solar cells. Additionally, the micro-PL measurements have shown a lateral peak shift, which could be interpreted as varying grains or by different luminescence radiation of grains and grain boundaries.
