Investigating sputtered Cu2Si1-xSnxS3 (CSTS) for earth abundant thin film photovoltaics |

| Description |
This study investigates the synthesis of chalcopyrite Cu2Si1-xSnxS3 (CSTS) thin films for photovoltaic solar cell absorber layers. Preliminary results indicate that layered sputtering of Cu, Sn, and Si followed by annealing in a sulfur atmosphere at 500⁰C does not provide adequate mixing or sulfur incorporation. Annealing/sulfurizing a homogeneous co-sputtered film of Cu, Sn, and S lead to CSTS formation, although low sulfur incorporation and undesired copper sulfide phase formation resolved. Sputtering from sulfide targets may lead to formation of CSTS. |
