The Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell efficiency of 33.7% is based on a trade-off between generated photocurrent and photovoltage [1]. Intermediate band (IB) solar cells are proposed to overcome this trade-off by an additional two step photon absorption via states within the band gap [2]. Those states may be realized by quantum dots, band anti-crossing in highly mismatched alloys or deep level impurities.
In this work we pursue a deep level impurity approach for IB solar cells. The heterostructure consists of p-ZnCo2O4/i-In2S3/n-ZnO:Al [3]. The transition metal (V, Nb or Ti) doped In2S3 absorber material is deposited by thermal co-evaporation. ZnCo2O4 is deposited by pulsed laser deposition and ZnO:Al by HF-sputtering.
The devices were characterized with photocurrent measurements and with a two photon excitation setup provided by two UV/VIS and IR supercontinuum laser sources. Thermal admittance spectroscopy measurements revealed a sulfur vacancy at 400 meV depth.
