Evaluation of copper organometallic sources for CuGaSe2 photovoltaic applications
Résumé
Various copper organometallic sources (hexafluoro-acetylacetonato copper complexed with an amine, cyclopentadienyl copper triethyl phosphine and cyclopentadienyl copper tertiarybutylisocyanide) were synthesised and evaluated for the deposition of polycrystalline and epitaxial thin films of CuGaSe2 for photovoltaic applications and fundamental investigations. The properties of these sources are reviewed together with the growth and characterisation of the copper and CuGaSe2 layers that were produced using the different sources.
