Abstract :
An alternative process for CuInSe2 formation is presented. In this approach, a binary two-layer precursor CuSe/In-Se is first deposited on a Mo/glass substrate at low temperature by migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE). When the Se ambient is controlled, rapid thermal processing (RTP) is able to synthesize single phase CuInSe2. The structure, morphology, and composition of the films were characterized by XRD, SEM and ICP.
