Abstract [en]

Photoconductivity and photocapacitance of Cu(In,Ga)Se(2) and CuGaSe(2) thin films and devices induced by sub-bandgap illumination are investigated. Both effects have been attributed to the optical transition from valence band to the same empty levels situated around 0.8-0.9 eV above the valence band. The influence of the metastable states created by illumination and voltage bias on the sub-bandgap response has been studied. The experimental results are discussed in the framework of a model based on negative-U property of a native defect in chalcopyrites, i.e. V(Se)-V(Cu) divacancy. The arguments are presented that the levels involved in the optical transition observed in photoconductivity and photocapacitance might be antibonding levels of the acceptor configuration of this defect.
