Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films deposited by a single-stage co-evaporation process at 350 ºC on molybdenum coated soda lime glass substrate were annealed post-deposition in InCl3 vapor. The amount of InCl3 and Se was varied. Here, the annealing treatment was done at 450 ºC for 30 minutes. Increase in grain size was observed after the treatment in all cases by X-ray diffraction. Device performance was low, but improved slightly after KCN etching.
