The morphological and structural properties of copper-indium alloys selenized in a box have been studied varying the temperature and duration of the selenization process. At temperatures greater than or equal to 375 degrees C a single phase CuInSe2 is obtained with an indium-rich precursor. At lower temperatures different copper selenides are found which affect in a different way the composition of the film. A high indium loss is found in the 250-300 degrees C range. The results on short selenization cycles are used to identify the precursor species of CuInSe2.
