Abstract

Cu2ZnSnSe4 films were deposited on soda lime glass substrates at room temperature by one-step radio frequency magnetron-sputtering process. The effect of sputtering power on the properties of one-step deposited Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin films has been investigated. The deposited films might be suitable for the absorber layers in the solar cells. The chemical composition and the preferred orientation of the films can be optimized by the sputtering power.
