Structural and optical properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 films obtained by magnetron sputtering of a Cu2ZnSn alloy target

详细

Results of the study of structural and optical properties of Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ thin films obtained by sulfitation (selenization) of Cu₂ZnSn films which were sputtered by target direct current magnetron sputtering using a stoichiometric Cu₂ZnSn (99.99%) target are presented. It has been found that Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ thin films are polycrystalline with a grain size of ~60 nm. The optical bandgap of Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (E_g^op = 1.65 eV) and Cu₂ZnSnSe₄ (R_g^op = 1.2 eV) thin films have been determined.
