      abstract     = {The present work deals with production induced defects in
                      CIGS thin film modules which can deteriorate the electrical
                      performance of the module. The motivation of this work is
                      toboth nd ways how these defects can be diagnosed, e.g. in a
                      quality control in the productionsite, and to gain a better
                      understanding of the actual defect inuence on the voltage
                      and current in the surrounding of the defect. Thus, I
                      investigate the use of electroluminescence and thermography
                      as diagnostic tools to detect and identify common defects
                      occurring in CIGS production. I begin this work with a study
                      of the CIGS production process and list potential defect
                      origins for relevant production steps. In order to allow an
                      experimental investigation of defects, I intentionally
                      implement them into CIGS photovoltaic modules in a real CIGS
                      production site environment. The defect implementation
                      includes e.g. interrupted P1, P2, and P3 scribing lines for
                      the monolithic series connection, as they can be caused by
                      faulty scribing tools, and changes in the normal CIGS layer
                      structure, as they can be caused by local contamination.
                      Furthermore, I vary the geometry of the implemented defects.
                      I characterise the implemented defects with microscope,
                      electroluminescence (EL), and dark lock-in thermography
                      (DLIT) measurements. EL and DLIT are chosen as they are
                      spatially resolved measurements and therefore allow a
                      comparatively fast investigation of a complete module. In
                      addition to the defect measurements, I implement a software
                      that is based on the principle of network simulation model
                      and allows to model and simulate the implemented defect
                      types in a CIGS module. The software models the CIGS module
                      with a network, that consists of equivalent circuits of a
                      solar cell and resistances, and translates the network into
                      a non-linear system of equations that are solved. Finally, I
                      investigate methods to repair an incomplete insulation of
                      the Mo back contacts of two neighbouring cells. [...]},
