It has been found that heat light soaking (HLS) can increase the net doping density of CIGS solar cells, but has a lower than expected improvement on the open-circuit voltage (V (OC)). Analysis based on the SQ theory reveals that HLS reduces the nonradiative recombination rate in the bulk but increases it at the interface. A combination of HLS and KF/NaF-PDT is necessary to enhance the positive impacts of HLS and mitigate the detrimental ones leading to high-efficiency CIGS devices (22%).
Heat light soaking (HLS) has been known to impact the photovoltaic parameters of Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS) solar cells for a long time. Recently, the focus shifted to the effect of the procedure on alkali fluoride-treated CIGS. Here, we investigate the impact of long-term HLS on the open-circuit (V (OC)) loss in high-efficiency CIGS with potassium fluoride (KF) and sodium fluoride (NaF) post-deposition treatment (PDT). HLS is shown to increase the net doping density, however, the subsequent improvement of the V (OC) is lower than expected. Using an analysis based on the SQ theory, we show that HLS reduces the nonradiative recombination rate in the bulk but increases the one at the interface. We present a model to explain the increase of interface recombination. We further demonstrate that a combination of HLS and KF/NaF-PDT is necessary to enhance the positive impacts of HLS and mitigate the detrimental ones leading to high-efficiency CIGS devices (22%).
