• CZTSe bulks with various Cu contents were prepared by liquid-phase sintering.
• Electrical data and lattice parameters were to derive the point defects.
• The recommended condition of CZTSe is the Cu contents of 1.8–2.0.
• The Cu content below 1.8 is disadvantageous in low mobility.
• The information from the bulk study is a guide for manufacturing CZTSe solar cells.
Effects of the Cu variation in CuxZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) bulks with x = 1.4–2.2 on the morphological, structural, and electrical properties has been investigated. Dense CZTSe pellets with grains of 2–5 μm were obtained. All CZTSe pellets showed a p-type behavior with a carrier concentration of 1016–1019 cm−3. CZTSe at x = 1.8 and 2.0 has a high mobility above 25 cm2/V s and an un-favored hole concentration above 1018 cm−3. Although CZTSe at x = 1.6 has a low hole concentration of 1.5 × 1017 cm−3, its mobility is below 2 cm2/V s. The contradiction has made the CZTSe solar cell device with a low efficiency. The explanation, based upon vacancies and antisite defects, for the changes in electrical property is supported by the data from lattice parameter. The study in bulk CZTSe and its defects is helpful as they are applied to the fabrication of thin-film solar cell devices.
The electrical data and lattice parameter are helpful in understanding the defects in CZTSe with different Cu contents.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
