The effect of deposition of various polymer layers and annealing in the air at different temperatures on the surface photovoltage of CuInS 2 photoabsorber films was studied. After polymer layer deposition onto the polycrystalline CuInS 2 surface, roughness and photovoltage somewhat decreased. The photovoltage decrease is greater for polymers with smaller flexibility of macromolecules and can be caused by the formation of micropores in polymer films. After thermal annealing close to the polymer glass transition temperature micropores disappeared and photovoltage increased. Photovoltage increase was higher in the structures with the functional layer of polymers having larger flexibility of macromolecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
