Abstract

Solar cells based on CuInSe2 polycrystalline thin films (see Figure) are one of the few realistic alternatives to polycrystalline Si for practical conversion of solar energy into electricity. A model explaining the important role of the secondary copper chalcogenide phases in the deposition of the CuInSe2 films by physical vacuum evaporation is presented. (Figure Presented.)
