Abstract
⺠CuInAlSe2 (CIAS) thin films deposited using flash evaporation at different substrate temperatures. ⺠XRD shows single phase, polycrystalline in nature of CIAS thin films and the surface with the dense grains observed by SEM. ⺠Optical band gap is in the range of 1.20 eV-1.38 eV and the absorption coefficient is close to 105 cmâ1. ⺠Electrical characterization reveals p-type conductivity with good carrier mobility of â¼10 cm2 V sâ1. ⺠Observed properties indicates potential use of CIAS thin films as an absorber layer in thin film solar cell.
