Ga. Medvedkin et Ma. Magomedov, GROWTH OF POLYCRYSTALLINE CUINSE2 THIN-FILMS BY EFFUSION EVAPORATION, Semiconductor science and technology, 8(5), 1993, pp. 652-656
The condensation process for thin polycrystalline CuInSe2 films has be
en studied via effusion evaporation of the ternary substance in the Se
-enriched and Se-free vapour phases. The film growth is shown to be in
good agreement with a model of small nuclei. The temperature of the c
ritical nucleus formation has been determined: p-type films generally
grow at higher temperatures than n-type films. We discuss the influenc
e of technological parameters on a point defect ensemble in the prepar
ed films, resulting in a wide variation of their electrical and optica
l properties.
