Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we report the preparation of CuIn 1− x Ga x Se 2 (CIGS) films using electrodeposition. The influence of individual salt concentration on film composition is discussed in detail. We observed that CuCl 2 and H 2 SeO 3 in the deposition bath strongly influence the film composition compared to GaCl 3 and InCl 3 salts. The deposited film morphology was also strongly influenced by the film composition. We also observed microcracks in the films when the films were deposited at low concentrations of CuCl 2 , InCl 3 , and GaCl 3 salts and at high concentrations of H 2 SeO 3 .
