✦ Synopsis

In this paper we present results concerning the effect of preparation conditions on the surface chemistry and crystalline phase of Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) thin films grown by a chemical reaction of the precursor species in two and three stage processes. The CIGS samples were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. It was found that the bulk of the samples grown in a three stage process contains mainly the CIGS phase; however, secondary phases like In 2 Se 3 , Cu 2 Se and In 2 O were additionally identified at the surface of CIGS samples grown in two stages.

A systematic study was carried out to investigate the distribution of sulfur (S) in CuInSe 2 (CIS) and Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) absorbers which were exposed to an H 2 S atmosphere at elevated temperature. Results demonstrated that S diusion into CIS layers was a strong function of the original stoichiom

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
