摘要
Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 thin films were prepared from aqueous solution by pulse electrodeposition. It was found that the co-deposition of the species occurred under a 3D growth with instantaneous nucleation. The morphology of the pulse-electrodeposited film can be improved by adjusting the duty cycle. The significant loss of indium and reduction of In-Se compound(s) accordingly were observed with decrease of duty cycle. Chalcopyrite structure Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 films with p-type behavior and enhancement in crystallinity were obtained after annealing treatment in Ar atmosphere. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
