Summary:The characteristics of polycrystalline, thin film Culn sub(1-) Ga sub(x)Se sub(2) (CIGS)/ZnO solar cells with a total area efficiency of 13.7% are reported. These nominally 1 squared centimeter cells are prepared by elemental coevaporation of the selenide material, chemical deposition of a thin (20-30 nm) CdZnS layer and RF magnetron sputtering of the ZnO transparent conductive film. We attribute the improved performance over our previous CIGS cells to a slightly higher Ga concentration and to the preparation of ZnO films with lower optical losses.
