“…Furthermore, a small amount of electron irradiation onto CIGS solar cells has been reported to improve their performance. It has been proposed that CIGS solar cells with lower‐energy electrons act like light soaking . Other emerging thin‐film solar cells fabricated using organic and perovskite materials show record‐high specific power ratio and have also been investigated for space applications .…”

Herein, the effects of electron irradiation on cesium fluoride (CsF)‐free and CsF‐treated Cu(In1−x,Gax)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells with fluence from 1 × 1013 to 1 × 1017 cm−2 are investigated. Both CsF‐free and CsF‐treated CIGS solar cells exposed to fluence up to 3 × 1015 cm−2 show self‐healing properties, due to the soaking effect from electron bombardment. This feature indicates the robustness of CIGS solar cells for long‐term space explorations. On the other hand, electron irradiation with fluence above 1 × 1016 cm−2 suppresses the solar cell performance of both CsF‐free and CsF‐treated samples, which is expected to be due to the formation of irradiation‐induced defects on the CIGS thin film. This result suggests that the formation of irradiation‐induced defects is independent of the incorporation of heavier alkali metals into the CIGS thin films. The defect passivation and/or introduction rates at different fluences are investigated.
