Book Description
This conference paper describes the in-depth understanding of the defect formation and resulting changes in material quality occurring during the Cu(In, Ga)Se2 growth process is vital to the successful and widespread use of this photovoltaic material. In an attempt to develop such an understanding, we investigated the growth of Cu(In, Ga)Se2 thin-films from (In, Ga)2Se3 precursors. This was achieved by using energy- and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopies to characterize a series of thin-films, each removed at a different point along the reaction pathway of the''three-stage'' growth process. The resulting thin-films are representative of the absorber layer as it proceeds from a Cu-rich to In(Ga)-rich state. The experimental results support a growth model incorporating defect changes in the dominant defect states and improvement in the recombination lifetime during this final stage of the growth process as the material transitions to a Cu-poor phase.

Thin Film Growth
Author: Zexian Cao
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0857093290
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Thin film technology is used in many applications such as microelectronics, optics, hard and corrosion resistant coatings and micromechanics, and thin films form a uniquely versatile material base for the development of novel technologies within these industries. Thin film growth provides an important and up-to-date review of the theory and deposition techniques used in the formation of thin films.Part one focuses on the theory of thin film growth, with chapters covering nucleation and growth processes in thin films, phase-field modelling of thin film growth and surface roughness evolution. Part two covers some of the techniques used for thin film growth, including oblique angle deposition, reactive magnetron sputtering and epitaxial growth of graphene films on single crystal metal surfaces. This section also includes chapters on the properties of thin films, covering topics such as substrate plasticity and buckling of thin films, polarity control, nanostructure growth dynamics and network behaviour in thin films.With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Thin film growth is an essential reference for engineers in electronics, energy materials and mechanical engineering, as well as those with an academic research interest in the topic. - Provides an important and up-to-date review of the theory and deposition techniques used in the formation of thin films - Focusses on the theory and modelling of thin film growth, techniques and mechanisms used for thin film growth and properties of thin films - An essential reference for engineers in electronics, energy materials and mechanical engineering
