Electrical conductivity and Hall mobility of CuInSez films were measured in the temperature range of 77-400 K. The films were deposited with different Cu/In ratios ranging from 0.7-0.9 and at substrate temperatures of 620-720 K. Effects of grain boundary scattering on the electron transport properties were studied carefully and it was observed that scattering at the grain boundaries is a predominant factor controlling the electron transport properties at lower temperatures while complex scattering mechanisms become operative at higher temperatures. The energy values of trap levels and the densities of trap states were also obtained.
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.
