Defects and Surface Electrical Property Transformation Induced by Elemental Interdiffusion at the p-n Heterojunction via High-Temperature Annealing

Siyu Wang et al.

Summary: This study reveals the impact of high-temperature postdeposition annealing on the p-n heterojunction, which affects the performance of the solar cell. After high-temperature postdeposition annealing, the surface potential of the absorber layer inverts, the number of deep-level defects increases, and the CdS/CZTSe interface barrier height increases.
