CIGS absorbers from the same deposition run are finished into devices with CdS and ZnSnO.
The solar cells perform electrically at a similar level.
C-V measurements of ZnSnO could not be explained by simple models.
CdS provides junctions with slightly higher surface photovoltage than ZnSnO.
Photoluminescence of CIGS/CdS showed higher defects number compared with CIGS/ZnSnO.
