Optical Imaging of Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ Solar Cells with Consideration of Material Homogeneity as a Quality Control Tool for Photovoltaic Devices — •Steffen Kretzschmar, Oliver Nagel, Dieter Greiner, Christian A.

The luminescence yield of Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ solar cells or absorber layers can be used as a quality control indicator of the photovoltaic performance, in particular the open circuit voltage, of these devices. Here we present a study of electroluminescence and photoluminescence imaging on Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ solar cells using an InGaAs detection system with a good spectral match to the chalcopyrite luminescence emission. The results are compared to current-voltage and external quantum efficiency analyses on the same devices. In accordance with theory we find a linear dependence of the open circuit voltage on the logarithm of the luminescence yield. However, when not taking lateral inhomogeneities into account, a large spread in the correlation of solar cell parameters to imaging results is observed. We find that using an analytical homogeneity correction model leads to a distinct improvement of the correlation between the luminescence data and the device parameters open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency which allows the use of luminescence imaging as a predictive tool for inline monitoring and quality control.
