제목 Growth and characterization of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films by sputtering of binary selenides and selenization
초록 Thin film solar cells are growing up in the market due to their high efficiency and low cost. Especially CdTe and CuInGaSe2 based solar cells are leading the other cells, but due to the limited percentage of the elements present in our earth’s crust like Tellurium, Indium and Gallium, the price of the solar cells will increase rapidly. Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) and Copper Zinc Tin Selenide (CZTSe) semiconductor (having a kesterite crystal structure) are getting attention for its solar cell application as the absorber layer. CZTS and CZTSe have almost the same crystal structure with more environmentally friendly elements. Various authors have reported growth and characterization of CZTSe films and solar cells with efficiencies about 3.2% to 8.9%.  In this study, a novel method to prepare CZTSe has been proposed based on selenization of stacked Copper Selenide (Cu2Se), Tin Selenide (SnSe2) and Zinc Selenide (Zinc Selenide) in six possible stacking combinations. Depositions were carried out through RF magnetron sputtering. Selenization of all the samples was performed in Close Space Sublimation (CSS) in vacuum at different temperatures for three minutes. Characterization of each sample has been performed in Field Emission SEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, EDS and Auger. In this study, the properties and results of Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin films grown by selenization will be presented.
