Abstract

CZTSSe thin-films were deposited by stacked sputtering methods (ZnS/SnS/Cu) and annealed with selenization. We adjusted the thickness of the ZnS precursor layer in CZT precursors. A 337 nm thickness of ZnS precursor was shown an efficiency of up to 9.1%. We investigated the secondary phases by Raman spectroscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy with depth profiles. The Cu2SnSe3, ZnSe, and MoSe2 secondary phases appeared near the back contact region. The phase distributions of the CZTSSe thin-films are different depending on ZnS precursor thickness with different depths. This phase characterization can describe the influences to the device performance of the CZTSSe thin-film solar cells.
