Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) is a promising absorber material for thin film solar cells. As has been demonstrated, it can easily be doped with elements like germanium, lithium or sodium, leading to improvements in energy conversion efficiency. Germanium on the one hand is said to be a catalyst for CZTSSe grain growth when used in small amounts during annealing. On the other hand, its substitution of tin in CZTSSe increases the band gap enabling a better match to the solar spectrum and an enhanced open-circuit voltage. In this contribution we utilize two approaches to incorporate Ge into CZTSSe. First the influence of a thin doctor-bladed germanium oxide (GeOx) layer underneath and on top of the precursor on grain growth and solar cell parameters is studied. Furthermore, germanium sulfide (GeS) is used during the annealing process to tune the band gap.
