Efectos del recocido de películas delgadas de Sb2Se3 en atmósfera Ar+CHClF2: morfología y estequiometría
Palabras clave:
Antimony selenide, solar cells, thin film, annealing
Resumen
In this paper, the results of annealing of Sb2Se3 thin films in an Ar-CHClF2 atmosphere are presented. As a first step, a low-cost system was designed and builted to perform the thin film annealing and study its changes in morphology and stoichiometry. The Sb2Se3 films have been deposited by using Close-Spaced-Sublimation (CSS) technique. The formation of new structures at the grain boundaries and the formation of cubic crystals on the surface were observed. EDS analysis indicates that these new structures are enriched in Se. The Sb2Se3 thin films were deposited on glass and, by using the proposed annealing, have potential application in the fabrication of solar cells.
