These alloy specimens were prepared by metal mold. By means of microstructure observation, macrostructure observation and electron probe analyzing, microstructures and macrostructures of the specimens were analyzed by comparison method. Microstructure component and relationship between structure and composition of alloys were investigated. The results show that with increasing indium content, the grain changes from columnar one to equiaxed one, the equiaxed grain increases, the columnar grain zone decreases and the grain size becomes small. With increasing indium content, the growth way changes from planar one to dendritic one. Peritectic reaction plays inhibiting role on the growth of dendrite and affects the orientation of dendrite. Indium content has influence on lattice constant of Cu solid展开更多

Cu-In precursors with an ideal total mole ratio of Cu to In of 0.92 were prepared by middle frequency alternating current magnetron sputtering with Cu-In alloy target, then CuInSe2 absorbers for solar cells were formed by selenization process in selenium atmosphere. Scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope were used respectively to observe the surface morphologies and determine the compositions of both Cu-In precursors and CuInSe2 thin films. Their microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscope. The results show that Cu-In precursors are mainly composed of (Cu11In9) phase with In-rich solid solution. Stoichiometric CuInSe2 thin films with a homogeneous element distribution and single chalcopyrite phase can be synthesized from a segregated Cu-In precursor film with an ideal total mole ratio of Cu to In of 0.92. CuInSe2 thin film shows P-type conductivity and its resistivity reaches 1.2×103Ω·cm.展开更多
