1Photovoltaics. Lecture 6. CIGS.
From previous lecture:
Contacts resistance and recombination.
TOM TIEDJE et al., IEEE TRANS. ON EL. DEVICES, VOL. ED-31, NO. 5 , MAY 1984
Thickness dependant efficiency.
Useful recombination limits.

2Photovoltaics. Lecture 6. CIGS.
Few words on amorphous Si:
Semi-direct band gap,with exponential edges.
Absorption up to 2.5 times higher than in crystalline Si.
Hydrogen improves properties.
