摘要
We report on fabrication of polycrystalline Cu2FeSnX4 (X = S, Se) thin films by chemical spray pyrolysis subsequent with post-sulfurization and selenization. The post-annealing of as-sprayed Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS) films in sulfur and selenium ambient demonstrated drastically improved surface texture as well as crystallinity. The crystal lattice parameters calculated from X-ray diffraction patterns for post-annealed films were found to be consistent with stannite structure. The fabricated Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS) and Cu2FeSnSe4 (CFTSe) films showed p-type conductivity with carrier concentration in the range of 10(21) cm(-3) and mobility similar to 1-5 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). The band gap energies of post-sulfurized CFTS and post-selenized CFTSe films were estimated to be similar to 1.37 eV and similar to 1.11 eV with an error of similar to 0.02 eV by UV-Vis absorption, respectively, which are promising for photovoltaic application.
