The characteristics of the graded band gap profiles of the CIGS thin film solar cells have been reviewed. Influence of the valence and conduction band grading of the absorber material on the main parameters of the cell have been considered. A new graded band gap profile is proposed which exploits the widening both of valence and conduction bands. Furthermore, we discussed the possibility of conduction band grading of the window material near the surface region to enhance the carrier transfer.

A new graded band gap profile is proposed which exploits the widening both of valence and conduction bands.
