Abstract

Thin film(s) of chalcopyrite CulnSe2 have been grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (LP-MOCVD) using the precursors In(Se2CNMenHexyl)3 and precursors Cu(Se2CNMenHexyl)2. The precursors were prepared from carbon diselenide. Films were grown on glass between 400 – 450 °C, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy (UV/Vis), EDAX and scanning electron microscopy.
