Abstract

We formulate a consistent defect chemical model of the effect of air/O ₂ anneals on CdS/CuInSe₂ devices. The model centers on O-induced neutralization of (near) surface donor states in CuInSe₂ grains. The simplest identification of these states is with ionized Se vacancies, due to coordinatively unsaturated In on grain surfaces and boundaries.
