To reach even higher efficiency values, further advances in the solar cell architecture are needed, in particular, with respect to the CIGS interfaces. In this study, we evaluate the structural, morphological and optoelectronic impact of an Al2O3 layer as a potential front passivation layer on the CIGS properties, as well as an Al2O3 tunneling layer between CIGS and CdS. Morphological and structural analyses reveal that the use of Al2O3 alone is not detrimental to CIGS, although it does not resist to the CdS chemical bath deposition. The CIGS optoelectronic properties degrade when the CdS is deposited on top of Al2O3. Nonetheless, when Al2O3 is used alone, the optoelectronic measurements reveal a positive impact of this inclusion such as a very low concentration of interface defects while keeping the same CIGS recombination channels. Thus, we suggest that an Al2O3 front passivation layer can be successfully used with alternative buffer layers. Depth-resolved microscopic analysis of the CIGS interface with slow-muons strongly suggests for the first time that low-energy muon spin spectroscopy (LE-µSR) is sensitive to both charge carrier separation and bulk recombination in complex semiconductors. The demonstration that Al2O3 has the potential to be used as a front passivation layer is of significant importance, considering that Al2O3 has been widely studied as rear interface passivation material.DF – Departamento de FísicaRUNCurado, Marco A.Teixeira, Jennifer P.Monteiro, MargaridaRibeiro, E.
