Improving Efficiency of Evaporated Cu2ZnSnS4 Thin Film Solar Cells by a Thin Ag Intermediate Layer between Absorber and Back Contact by Hongtao Cui, Chang-Yeh Lee, Wei Li, Xiaolei Liu, Xiaoming Wen, Xiaojing Hao

“…A 20 nm Ag coating on Mo back contact was adopted to improve the back contact of evaporated Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells. The Ag layer helped reduce the thickness of MoS2 which improves fill factor (FF) significantly; additionally, it reduced secondary phases ZnS and SnS2−x, which may help carrier transport; it was also involved in the doping of the absorber layer, which compensated the intrinsic p-type doping and therefore drags down the doping level. …”
