Copper-indium-gallium-selenium thin films have been prepared by electroless
deposition technique on an Mo/glass substrate. Electroless precursors are
prepared by short-circuiting the Mo substrate to the Fe counter electrode.
The films are characterized by inductively coupled plasma and X-ray analysi
s. The device fabricated using electroless precursor films resulted in a so
lar cell efficiency of 12.4%. (C) 1999 The Electrochemical Society. S1099-0
