(Zn,Mg)O buffer layers on Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 thin film solar cells are a promising alternative to CdS buffer layers. Although in the past the radio frequency magnetron sputtering deposition on (Zn,Mg)O has been empirically optimized to reach high efficiencies, only little is known about the influence of the sputter parameters on the electronic and chemical structure of the absorber/buffer interface. We have used in-situ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy (XAES) to analyze the influence of different sputter parameters and to compare samples prepared by different groups.
All samples show the formation of indium oxide and zinc - sulfur/selenide bonds at the buffer/absorber interface. Moreover, the hydroxide/oxide ratio at the interface is strongly increased as compared to the respective ratio in the bulk. Further studies showed a diffusion of sodium to the surface for thin (Zn,Mg)O layers.
