Abstract
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.
