Ternary CuInSe2 thin films were prepared by electrodeposition from a high pH seleno-sulphate solution. The films were characterized by EDAX, X-ray diffraction and SEM. EDAX analysis shows that the stoichiometry of the films can be controlled by independently varying (i) the deposition current density, and (ii) the electrolytic bath composition. The films deposited at J=1.1 mA cm2 with InCl3 (15.12 mM) content in the bath mixture and at J=0.8 mA cm-2 with InCl3 (18.6 mM) content have a stoichiometric chalcopyrite structure with c/a approximately=1.97. Electrical measurements show that deposited films are p-type and have a resistivity of about 5*103 Omega cm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
