AbstractCu(InGa)Se2(CIGS) thin film absorbers were fabricated by a three-stage method using a coevaporation apparatus. As a Cd-free buffer layer, ZnSe, InxSe, GaxSey and ZnInxSey buffer layers have been deposited on the CIGS absorber continuously in the same apparatus. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was employed as a growth technique for ZnSe. This technique offers a good thickness control as well as a good surface coverage. By irradiating with a solar simulator, all the solar cell parameters increased drastically for the first 50 minutes of the irradiation and then saturated at longer irradiation times. This phenomenon did not appear for the cells with a CdS buffer layer. The best efficiency of ZnO/ZnSe/CIGS thin film solar cells with about 10 nm thick ZnSe buffer layer was 11.6%. On the other hand, ZnO/InxSey/CIGS thin film solar cells showed very stable characteristics under the light illumination, and initial measurements show an efficiency of 13.0%.
