摘要
Starting from stacked binary sulphide precursor layers with X-ray diffraction. An evaluation of the reaction rates revealed copper and zinc-rich composition the formation of Cu2Zn2SnS4 (kesterite) has been investigated. Precursors with different layer thicknesses were deposited to evaluate the influence. of material transport on the reaction kinetics. During annealing experiments the formation of kesterite in the different. precursors was monitored by in-situ energy-dispersive that at a temperature of 500 degrees C a kesterite film of 2 mu m thickness can be formed within few minutes. The long annealing times reported in literature for well-performing kesterite photovoltaic absorbers do therefore not owe to a general kinetic limitation for the formation of kesterite thin films.
