Abstract

Flash-evaporated technique has been developed for deposition of CuInSe2 thin films. A control over the stoichiometry and chemical composition of the films has been obtained by varying the deposition parameters. Single phase chalcopyrite structure films with optical gap ∼ 1·15 eV have been obtained. The electronic properties of the films have been tailored for solar cell applications.
