Abstract

Epitaxial films of CuInSe2 on Si(111) were modified by the application of an electric field through a movable tip. The electric field induces stable junction regions which are identified by efficient separation and collection of electron beam-induced charge carriers. The movable tip allows for scribing of these junction regions. The junctions can be explained by symmetrical p/p+ /n/p+ /p regions formed within the CuInSe2 epilayers. The reported method presents an alternate way for junction patterning in two dimensions.
