Abstract

Pico-second pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was employed to fabricate copper indium disulfide (CIS) thin films onto pure silica and Mo coated glass substrates. By properly preparing the target materials and controlling the elemental ratio of the Cu, In and S in the deposited film followed by post-thermal annealing, good quality copper-indium-disulfide(CIS) films can be obtained. A series of characterizations were conducted including XRD, RBS, IR, UV-Vis, AFM and STM analyses.
