摘要
The structure of Cu2ZnSnS4 films was investigated by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, optical reflectance and photoluminescence. The films were formed by thermal annealing layers of copper, zinc and tin sulfides on glass substrates at different substrate temperature and ambient atmosphere. It was revealed that the films have the dominant structure of kesterite with possible inclusions of stannite Cu2ZnSnS4 structure. Under certain growth conditions, however, segregation of Cu2-xS occurs, as proved by registering the characteristic peak in Raman spectra. No traces of secondary phases of zinc or tin sulphides are found.
