The scaling behavior and optical properties of Zn(S,O and OH) thin films deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by chemical bath deposition method were studied by combined roughness measurements,scanning electron microscopy and optical properties measurement.Prom the scaling behaviour,the value of growth scaling exponentβ,0.38±0.06,was determined.This value indicated that the Zn(S,O,OH) film growth in the heterogeneous process was influenced by the surface diffusion and shadowing effect.Results of the optical properties measurements disclosed that the transmittance of the film was in the region of 70%-88%and the optical properties of the film grown for 40 min were better than those grown under other conditions.The energy band gap of the film deposited with 40 min was around 3.63 eV.
Cu(In,Ga)Se2(CIGS) films are deposited on the Na-free glass substrate using three-stage co-evaporation process,and the effects of thickness and growth temperature on the orientation of CIGS film are investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).When the growth of CIGS film does not experience the Cu-rich process,the increase of the growth temperature at the second stage(Ts2) promotes the(112) orientation of CIGS film,and weakens the(220) orientation.Nevertheless,when the growth of CIGS film experiences Cu-rich process,the increase of Ts2 significantly promotes the(220) orientation.In addition,with the thickness of CIGS film decreasing,the extent of(In,Ga)2Se3(IGS) precursor orientation does not change except for the intensity of Bragg peak,yet the(220) orientation of following CIGS film is hindered,which suggests that(112) plane preferentially grows at the initial growth of CIGS film.
