Abstract

Ternary CuInSe2 (CIS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates using a binary CuIn alloy target and an elemental Cu target by employing radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering process and post-selenization process. The selenization procedure is carried out within a partially close-spaced graphite box. The Cu content in CIS thin films can be controlled by different sputtering time of Cu target. The result of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicated that the CIS thin film prepared by single CuIn alloys target had significantly composition deviation. Combined with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra results showed that all CIS thin films have chalcopyrite structure. Further transmission spectra demonstrated that the optical band gap of CIS thin film is about 1.0 eV.
