Abstract:In this article, CuInS2 (CIS) and Cu(In,Ga)S2 (CIGS) absorbers are prepared via sulfurization by a sulfur powder source for co-evaporated Cu–In(–Ga) metal precursors without toxic KCN and H2S. The CIS and CIGS growth mechanism during sulfurization and its application to solar cells are discussed. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy analyses, indicate that CuS and (In,Ga)2S3 exists at the frontside and the backside, respectively, in the CIGS films at the temperature between 250–350 °C. Then, these in… Show more
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.
