Abstrakt: Cu(In, Ga)Se[sub 2]/CdS/ZnO thin-film solar cells were exposed to doses up to 5×10[sup 8] rad(Si) of 50 keV x rays. Device performance consistently showed very little degradation, implying that previously observed radiation-induced performance reductions were likely the result of displacement damage. Subsequent experiments showed that cells recovered to near beginning-of-life performance with only short anneals under 50 °C. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
