摘要:
A method of forming a light-absorbing layer of CIGS by first forming a thin-film precursor of Ib-IIIb group metals by sputtering and then treating by heat the precursor in a selenium atmosphere, wherein particles sputtered from an alloy target of Ib group-IIIb group metals and a single metal target of Ib group or IIIb group metal, disposed opposite to each other, are well mixed to form a thin single-layered precursor being free from the occurrence of reaction of metals at a boundary of layers.
