[en] Several metastable effects have been observed in chalcopyrite solar cells. Recently, they have been related to the amphoteric behavior of the Se vacancy. We give an independent experimental evidence on this amphoteric behavior. By comparing charge carrier densities obtained from Hall effect measurements under illumination and in the dark, we conclude that illumination removes compensating donors.
