Light-inducedmetastabilities of Cu(In, Ga)Se-2 (CIGS)-based thin film solar cells have been extensively researched for many years. It is commonly observed that junction capacitance and p-doping level in CIGS absorbers increase considerably after light soaking (LS). In this work, we focus on the LS behaviors of cells with different minority carrier lifetimes (tau(n)). Experiments show that high efficiency cells with long tau(n) lose open circuit voltage (V-oc) and fill factor (FF) upon LS, whereas low efficiency cells with short tau(n) lose less or even gain V-oc and FF. The sodium content measured with glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) increases in the region close to the CdS/CIGS interface with LS and may contribute to the observed LS behaviors. The change in electrical parameters is explained with simulations, which relate the V-oc and FF changes to a reduced recombination rate in the space charge region due to the light-induced doping increase. The simulations also suggest that cells with higher n-doping in the CdS are less sensitive to changes in interface recombination rate and doping of CIGS, which agrees with the hypothesis that the CdS buffer deposition is important for the LS behavior.
