Deep level transient spectroscopy and photoluminescence studies of hole and electron traps in ZnSnP2 bulk crystals

Taro Kuwano et al.

Summary: ZnSnP2, an emerging inorganic material for solar cells, was characterized using DLTS and PL, revealing shallow acceptor- and donor-like traps, as well as a deep level trap. These traps may result from defects in the material, leading to a shorter minority carrier lifetime.

Laplace DLTS study of defects introduced in GaAs during sputter deposition of Au Schottky contacts

F. Taghizadeh et al.

Summary: Au Schottky barrier diodes were fabricated on Si-doped n-type GaAs using RF sputter deposition. DLTS and Laplace DLTS were used to measure the electrical properties of the sputter-induced defects. The experiment revealed the presence of six different defects in the samples, with varying depth distribution and electrical characteristics. Annealing of the samples also had an effect on the I-V characteristics.

Performance enhancement of ZnSnP2 solar cells by a Cu3P back buffer layer

Taro Kuwano et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the formation of Cu3P at the interface between Cu and ZnSnP2 helps to enhance the current density in ZnSnP2 solar cells, prevents roll-over of J-V curves, and achieves the highest efficiency of 3.87%. It is concluded that Cu3P is a promising back buffer material for ZnSnP2 solar cells due to its alignment with ZnSnP2 in terms of band and lattice structures.
