“…The use of H 2 Se during selenization requires extensive health and safety measures and can introduce secondary phase formations such as In 2 Se which will degrade the properties of the CIS films [13]. A relatively cheap and eco-friendly method was introduced with chemical bath deposited Se by Bindu et al, and Deepa et al, [14,15] but this method also requires a multi step processes. These processes are complex and controlling the deposition parameters reproducibly is a difficult task.…”

This paper reports the production of high quality copper indium diselenide thin films using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering from a powder target. As grown thin films consisted of pinhole free, densely packed grains. X ray diffraction showed that films were highly orientated in the (112) and/or (204)/(220) direction with no secondary phases present. The most surprising and exciting outcome of this study was that the as-grown films were of near stoichiometric composition, almost independent of the composition of the starting material.No additional steps or substrate heating were necessary to incorporate selenium and create single phase CuInSe 2 . Electrical properties obtained by hot point probe and four point probe gave values of low resistivity and showed that the films were all p type. The physical and structural properties of these films were analyzed using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Resistivity measurements were carried out using the four point probe and hot probe methods. The single step deposition process can cut down the cost of the complex multi step processes involved in the traditional vacuum based deposition techniques.
