## Abstract In this paper we report a new method for Cu(In,Ga)Se~2~ deposition for solar cell application. Differently from the common coโevaporation process, an alterative approach for thin film Cu(In,Ga)Se~2~ has been tested: the sputtering deposition of metal elements combined with the selenium
Thin-film photovoltaic devices based upon the Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 material system continue to advance with total-area cell efficiencies approaching 16%. Fabrication processes have been developed that may easily be transferred to industrial scale systems. Device designs incorporating variable-band-gap abso
Thin films based on Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 prepared on alkali free substrates are compared to films prepared on soda lime glass. On the latter, the presence of sodium species as detected with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is correlated with an enhanced formation of Se-O, In-O and Ga-O bonds at the surface
