Abstract:The spectral responses in quantum efficiency provide essential information about current generation, recombination, and diffusion mechanisms in a photodetector, photodiode, and photovoltaic devices as the quantum efficiency is a function of the voltage and light biases and the spectral content of the bias light and/or location of the devices. Recently, P-type Kesterite thin-film solar cells are emerging as they have a high absorption coefficient (>10 4 cm À1 ) and ideal direct bandgap (1.4-1.5 eV), which make … Show more
“…To get a deeper insight into the origin of these losses, taking into account that QE analysis affords an understanding of the photogenerated carrier collection in the device in addition to a spatial distribution of the dominant recombination path along the solar cell. Analytical descriptions have been designed to model bias-dependent quantum efficiency to study the behavior of CZTSe and CZTSe:Ge absorbers with different voltage and light bias conditions [55,56]. The QE response differs depending on the applied voltage bias (V bias ), where reverse bias seems not affecting the spectral response (optimized depletion width with improved carrier collection are conserved), whereas the forward bias (V bias = 0.2 V) induces a strong decay in QE response at long-wavelengths more specifically.…”

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.
