The composition dependence of defect energies in polycrystalline Cu(In1−xGax)(Se1−ySy)2 chalcopyrite thin films is investigated by admittance spectroscopy of ZnO/CdS/chalcopyrite heterojunctions. We determine the band alignments within the polycrystalline Cu(In1−xGax)(Se1−ySy)2 semiconductor system using the energy position of the dominant acceptor state as a reference level. Upon alloying CuInSe2 with S the activation energy of the acceptor increases from 300 meV to approximately 380 meV in CuIn(Se0.4S0.6)2. A similar result holds when using Cu(In1−xGax)(Se1−ySy)2 with x≈0.3. In contrast, the acceptor activation energy remains essentially unchanged in the Cu(In1−xGax)Se2 alloy system over the whole composition range 0⩽x⩽1. Taking the acceptor energy as reference, we find a valence band offset ΔEV=−0.23 eV between CuInSe2 and CuInS2. The same valence band offset is found between Cu(In0.7Ga0.3)Se2 and Cu(In0.7Ga0.3)S2. In contrast, the combination CuInSe2/CuGaSe2 displays ΔEV below 0.04 eV. Our results ind...
