Abstrakt: CuInSe2thin films were prepared on SnO2-coated glass by electrodeposition from aqueous solution containing CuCl2, InCl3and SeO2. The deposition was carried out by varying cathode potential. It was found that the Cu/In ratio which influences CuInSe2characteristics greatly can be controlled by the cathode potential. Annealing of as-deposited films in N2atmosphere at 350°C was found to result in the formation of CuInSe2films having a chalcopyrite structure. With the use of these annealed CuInSe2thin films, CdS/CuInSe2thin-film solar cells were formed as a preliminary step and the conversion efficiency of 1.49% was obtained.
