Admittance spectra and drive-level-capacitance profiles of several high performance Cu2ZnSn(Se,S)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells with bandgap ∼1.0–1.5 eV are reported. In contrast to the case for Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2, the CZTSSe capacitance spectra exhibit a dielectric freeze out to the geometric capacitance plateau at moderately low frequencies and intermediate temperatures (120–200 K). These spectra reveal important information regarding the bulk properties of the CZTSSe films, such as the dielectric constant and a dominant acceptor with energy level of 0.13–0.2 eV depending on the bandgap. This deep acceptor leads to a carrier freeze out effect that quenches the CZTSSe fill factor and efficiency at low temperatures.
