example

[0064] Examples of fabricating semiconductor films and electronic devices according to embodiments of the present invention are described below, and some experimental results are presented. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made in both materials and methods without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0065] Formation of semiconductor film

[0066] The coating solution to form the CZTS film was prepared by the following method: at room temperature, 0.8 mmol Cu(CH 3 COO)2 ·H 2 O (99.99%, obtained from Aldrich), 0.56 mmol ZnCl 2 (99.1%, obtained from Mallinckrodt Baker), 0.55 mmol SnCl 2 2H 2 O (99.995%, obtained from Aldrich) and 2.64 mmol thiourea (99%, obtained from Aldrich) were dissolved in 0.7 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (99%, obtained from Aldrich). CZTS films were obtained by spin-coating the coating solution on Mo / SLG substrates followed by annealing at 580 °C on a hot plate. Spin coating was performed a...

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention broadly include forming a semiconductor film (e.g., CZTS or CZTSSe) having a nominal I2-II-IV-VI4 stoichiometry from a solution comprising a source of the elements I, II, IV, and VI in a liquid solvent Methods. Precursors may be mixed in the solvent to form the solution. In some examples, metal halide salts can be used as precursors. The solution may be applied to a substrate and annealed to obtain the semiconductor film. In some examples, the source of the elements 'I' and 'IV' may contain the elements in the +2 oxidation state and the semiconductor film may contain the elements in the +1 oxidation state' I' and said element 'IV' in the oxidation state +4. Examples can be used to provide I2-(II, IV)-IV-VI4 membranes.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims priority to the filing date of US Provisional Application 61 / 444,398, filed February 18, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Examples described herein may relate to methods of making semiconducting materials, compositions of semiconducting materials, and devices comprising such semiconducting materials. Semiconductor materials described herein include those with nominal I 2 -II-IV-VI 4 Stoichiometric thin films, including (but not limited to) CZTS or CZTSSe (such as Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 or Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 ) film. Background technique [0004] Thin film semiconductor materials are useful in a variety of applications, including photovoltaic (PV) devices. CuInGaSe 2 (CIGSe) and CdTe to fabricate thin-film solar cells with suitable efficiencies. However, price volatility issues (eg, for In and Ga), abundance issues (for In and Te, which are rare el...
