Effect of different Na supply methods on thin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells with Al2O3 rear passivation layers

In this work, rear-contact passivated Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells were fabricated without any intentional contact openings between the CIGS and Mo layers. The investigated samples were either N ...
