Growth of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Films Selenized Using Dimethylselenium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) films were prepared by thermal treatment of In/CuGa metallic precursors using dimethylselenium, which is a less hazardous Se source than H2Se gas. CIGS films were fabricated using various heating times and dimethylselenium supply rates. We investigated the effect of the selenization temperature and the dimethylselenium supply rate on the crystal phase and surface morphology of the films. It was demonstrated that deimethylseleniumt is effective in preparation of the CIGS films as the alternative material of H2Se. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2011355]

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 FILM FORMATION FROM SELENIZATION OF MIXED METAL/METAL-SELENIDE PRECURSORS
For Cu(In,Ga)Se2 films made by the selenization of metallic precursors, Ga accumulation at the back contact prevents the achievement of high voltage solar cells. In this work, selenization of mixed metal/metal-selenide precursors has been studied with respect to the composition distribution and device performance. Precursors consisting of Cu-Se/Ga/In and (In,Ga)-Se/Cu were reacted in H2Se at 45...

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films (CIGS) on metallic substrate (titanium, molybdenum, aluminum, stainless steel) were prepared by a two-step selenization of Co-evaporated metallic precursors in Se-containing environment under N2 gas flow. Structural properties of prepared thin film were studied. To characterize the optical quality and intrinsic defect nature low-temperature photoluminescence, were perfor...

In this work, aiming at developing a rapid and environmental-friendly process for fabricating CuIn1-x Ga x Se2 (CIGS) solar cells, we demonstrated the one-step selenization process by using selenium vapor as the atmospheric gas instead of the commonly used H2Se gas. The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics indicate that there exists an optimal location with superior crystalline quality in the...

The growth and characterization of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 polycrystalline thin films under the presence of thin-MF (M=Na, K, Cs) precursor layers is presented. Some electrical, structural, and electronic absorber properties due to the presence of such Group Ia impurities are quantified along with their influence in device performance. We present a growth model for the role of Na in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 that attr...

Cu In1−xGax Se2 CIGS films were grown on 001 GaAs at 570 or 500 °C by means of metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy. All films were Cu-rich Cu/ In+Ga 1 with pseudomorphic Cu2Se second phase particles found only on the growth surface. During growth, diffusion of Ga from the substrate and vacancies generated by the formation of CIGS from Cu2Se at the surface occurred. The diffusion processes lead to...
