Abstract:
In-rich CuIn(Ga)Se-2 thin films are characterized by optical and electrical measurements. The results are consistently explained in the Shklovskij/Efros model appropriate for highly defective and highly compensated semiconductors. The dominant radiative recombination is of tail-impurity type at low temperatures and low excitation powers, and of band-impurity type at high temperatures and/or high excitation densities. The analysis of the data yields that the impurity content is in the order of 10(18) cm(-3) while the free carrier (hole) concentration at room temperature is in the order of 10(16) cm(-3). The impurity density increases with increasing deviation of the Cu/(In+Ga) ratio from stoichiometry.
