“…The deposition of indium selenide layers has been demonstrated by several methods, including coevaporation of the elements [16], single-source evaporation of In 2 Se 3 [8], sequential electrodeposition of the elements followed by annealing [17], simultaneous electrodeposition of the elements [18], modified chemical bath deposition [19] and spray pyrolysis [20]. In order to provide a high level of control and reproducibility in the indium selenide layers and hence allow the focus of this early-stage work to be maintained on the copper-incorporation process, co-evaporation of elemental indium and selenium was employed in the work reported here.…”

A chemical method of incorporating copper into indium selenide thin‐films has been investigated, with the goal of creating a precursor structure for conversion into CuInSe2 (CIS) layers suitable for solar cell processing. The precursor and converted layers have been investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). From these measurements, the incorporation of copper into the indium selenide layers is concluded to proceed by an ion‐exchange reaction. This reaction results in the formation of a precursor layer with a graded compositional depth‐profile containing the crystalline phases In2Se3 and Cu2−xSe. Selenisation of the precursor layer homogenises the composition and forms chalcopyrite CIS. These CIS layers exhibit a dense microstructure with rough surface morphology, which is ascribed to a non‐optimal selenisation process. Solar cells with the structure ZnO: Al/i‐ZnO/CdS/CIS/Mo/glass have been processed from the selenised layers and have exhibited efficiencies of up to 4% under simulated AM1·5 illumination.

“…Quickly after the first report, several approaches have been proposed for the synthesis of CIS thin films [31][32][33]. It is of general interest to perform a simultaneous codeposition of all three elements in achieving stoichiometric chalcopyrite CIS films.…”

CuInSe 2 (CIS) and Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) semiconductors are the most studied absorber materials for thin films solar cells due to their direct bandgap and large absorption coefficient. The highly efficient CIGS devices are often fabricated using expensive vacuum based technologies; however, recently electrodeposition has been demonstrated to produce CIGS devices with high efficiencies and it is easily amenable for large area films of high quality with effective material use and high deposition rate. In this context, this chapter discusses the recent developments in CIS and CIGS technologies using electrodeposition. In addition, the fundamental features of electrodeposition such as direct current, pulse and pulse-reverse plating and their application in the fabrication of CIS and CIGS films are discussed. In conclusion, the chapter summarizes the utilization of pulse electrodeposition for fabrication of CIS and CIGS films while making a recommendation for exploring the group's unique pulse electroplating method.

:Although indium (In) is not an abundant element, the use of indium is expected to grow, especially as applied to copper-indium-(gallium)-selenide (CI(G)S) solar cells. In future when CIGS solar cells will be used extensively, the available amount of indium could be a limiting factor, unless a synthetic technique of efficiently utilizing the element is developed. Current vacuum techniques inherently produce a significant loss of In during the synthetic process, while electrodeposition exploits nearly 100% of the In, with little loss of the material. Thus, an electrochemical process will be the method of choice to produce alloys of In once the proper conditions are designed. In this review, we examine the electrochemical processes of electrodeposition in the synthesis of indium alloys. We focus on the conditions under which alloys are electrodeposited and on the factors that can affect the composition or properties of alloys. The knowledge is to facilitate the development of electrochemical means of efficiently using this relatively rare element to synthesize valuable materials, for applications such as solar cells and light-emitting devices.
