摘要
The photoluminescence of CulnSe(2) thin films grown by multisource physical vapor deposition is investigated over a wide composition range with a specially designed sample. Measurements as a function of excitation intensity, and temperature are correlated with the Cu/In ratio x of the films ranging from 1.47 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.46. All the Cu-rich samples (x>1.0) show well-defined peak positions independent of the composition. In the slightly In-rich region (x=0.90) where the best absorber layers for high efficiency CuInSe2 solar cells are expected, two broad emission lines are ascribed to donor-acceptor pair transitions. For very In-rich samples (x<0.67), a blue shift of the dominant transition is observed. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
