Copper indium diselenide CuInSe2 (CISe) thin films are very important semiconductor material for solar cell applications.In this study, CuInSe2 (CIS), and Fluorine doped ZnO (ZnO:F) thin films were electrodeposited from aqueous solutions consisting of CuCl2, InCl3,and SeO2 with Na-citrate as complexing agents onto Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates for CuInSe2,and ZnCl2,NH4F were used as sources of ZnO and fluorine doping respectively. The microstructures, morphologies, and optical properties of the CuInSe2 With new buffer layer fluorine doped ZnO (FZO) were characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that all the films CuInSe2 are tetragonal chalcopyrite with favored orientation along (112) direction and Cu:In:Se crystals are nearly 1:1:2 atomic ratio. The surface morphology of all layers were void free, compact and fairly uniform. The near stoichiometries CuInSe2 film (annealing at 350°C), has the optica
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
