When a PV module is partially shaded, the shaded solar cells operate in a reverse bias condition. For Cu(In,Ga)Se2 cells this condition can cause defects that irreversibly reduce the output of these cells and the full module. In order to design robust shade-tolerant CIGS modules details need to be known of the conditions at which these defects will be formed. In this study a large number of cells were exposed to different reverse bias conditions. By using simple statistics the probability of the occurrence of defects as a result of reverse bias at any given voltage has been determined. Based on our experiments we have found that the absorber thickness is one of the main parameters that affects the shade-tolerance: the thicker the absorber, the more shade tolerant the CIGS module will be.

An investigation on the effect of the reverse biased operation of NCG/p-Si Schottky contact during methane gas exposure at room temperature has been presented. The experimental results show the larger current shift at the reverse bias operation, compared to the forward bias by exposing to methane gas. This can be attributed to the adsorption of methane gas into the metal surface layer and produces a negative charge at the junction, thus reduces the barrier height of the device. The reverse barrier height was calculated under the reverse bias condition, demonstrated the value decreased from 0.58-0.53eV towards a higher concentration of methane gas. The Schottky junction also affected by the increase in a free carrier when exposure to the reducing gas such as methane. Raman spectra are reported to be detected at G, D and 2D band with the grain size 1.88nm to exhibit single crystallite graphite properties. The results correlate well with the 3D AFM scans reveal the RMS surface roughness of 1.1 to 2.8nm.

ABSTRACTAmorphous hydrogenated p-i-n diodes submitted to a high reverse bias for a long period of time undergo a metastable evolution which tends to improve their properties. A forming procedure based on this effect has been developed and leads to a significant decrease of the reverse current and increase of the breakdown voltage. In this paper, the mechanisms underlying this forming process have been investigated using the Constant Photocurrent Method (CPM), (I-V) characteristics and Spectral Response under reverse bias. The effects of annealing and current induced defect creation have been studied. The forming process is found to be most consistent with a metastable increase in the dopant activation of the p-layer and a small decrease of the density of states in the i-layer.
