Numerical Investigations and Analysis of Cu2ZnSnS4 Based Solar Cells by SCAPS-1D by M. Djinkwi Wanda, S. Ouédraogo, F. Tchoffo, F. Zougmoré, J. M. B. Ndjaka

“…This paper reports numerical investigation, using SCAPS-1D program, of the influence of Cu2ZnSnS4 (the so-called CZTS) material features such as thickness, holes, and defects densities on the performances of ZnO:Al/i-ZnO/CdS/CZTS/Mo solar cells structure. We found that the electrical parameters are seriously affected, when the absorber thickness is lower than 600 nm, mainly due to recombination at CZTS/Molybdenum interface that causes the short-circuit current density loss of 3.6 mA/cm2. …”
