Abstrakt: The Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2/Mo interface in thin-film solar cells has been investigated by surface-sensitive photoelectron spectroscopy, bulk-sensitive x-ray emission spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. It is possible to access this deeply buried interface by using a suitable lift-off technique, which allows us to investigate the back side of the absorber layer as well as the front side of the Mo back contact. We find a layer of Mo(S,Se)2 on the surface of the Mo back contact and a copper-poor stoichiometry at the back side of the Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 absorber. Furthermore, we observe that the Na content at the Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2/Mo interface as well as at the inner grain boundaries in the back contact region is significantly lower than at the absorber front surface.
