Abstract
The fabrication of a 11.4% efficient thin film solar cell based on CuI nS2 with an In-x(OH,S)(y) buffer layer is described. The device parame ters and performance are compared to heterojunctions with a standard C dS buffer layer. A junction breakdown at negative bias under illuminat ion is related to the buffer layer. A simple model implying photocondu ctive shunting paths is presented.
