Investigations of CuInSe sub 2 thin films and contacts
- California Inst. of Tech., Pasadena, CA (USA)
This report describes various studies of copper indium diselenide (CuInSe{sub 2}) thin-film materials and contacts. The CuInSe{sub 2} films prepared on substrates of glass or Mo-coated glass show the same polycrystalline structure, a Cu-rich composition, and a preferential grain orientation; however, they exhibit different surface morphologies, grain sizes, and shapes. Rutherford backscattering measurements were performed on different samples before and after 600{degree}C annealing. This treatment induced Se evaporation from the CuInSe{sub 2} films and interdiffusion between Mo and CuInSe{sub 2}.
