摘要
Thin films of Cu-In-Se (CISe) photoabsorber with an overall composition of CuIn3Se5 were deposited onto glass/indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates from a polycrystalline bulk CuIn3Se5 source using the high-vacuum evaporation technique. Thermal conditions for the substrates during the evaporation process and the subsequent annealing in vacuum were selected to prepare polycrystalline n-CuIn3Se5 photoabsorber layers for use in hybrid photovoltaic structures based on an inorganic photoabsorber and conductive polymer functional layers. The CISe layers were deposited at a substrate temperature of 200 degrees C and were annealed at temperatures from 300 degrees C to 500 degrees C in vacuum. Part of the as-deposited CISe was annealed twice, in argon and in vacuum at 500 degrees C. These layers exhibited high photosensitivity and photoconductivity when illuminated with white light at an intensity of 100 mW/cm(2). The results showed that the chalcopyrite structure of the prepared CISe photoabsorber films adhered well to the glass/ITO substrate. The average value of charge carrier concentration and the profile of charge carrier concentration in the annealed CISe photoabsorber layer were calculated using impedance spectroscopy.
