Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) was used in this work to reveal in
formation about deep defect levels in CuInS2 based solar cells. A strong va
riation of the defect spectrum from sample to sample was found. A minority
carrier trap at 0.25 eV and a majority carrier trap at 0.35 eV were identif
ied as bulk traps by variation of pulse height. Two majority carrier traps
at 0.24 and 0.8 eV were confirmed as interface traps. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci
