An Evaluation of Some Physical Characteristics of CuInSe2 Thin Films Produced by R.F. Sputtering

Abstract
Rf sputtering has been used to produce thin films from pressed and loose powder CuInSe2 targets. A theoretical and experimental assessment of stoichiometry has been made using the Rutherford Back Scattering (R.B.S.) technique. Sputtering parameters and substrate temperatures have been varied and changes in film structure and electrical resistivity have been observed. Some preliminary results from a post deposition annealing program are presented.
