Abstract

A method of the selenization of a Cu-In alloy for the synthesis of CuInSe₂ is presented. This method can avoid binary compounds formed in the reaction processes which have been one of the main problems of the stoichiometry control. A single phase of CuInSe₂ is obtained with the selenization temperature above the melting point of CuInSe₂. Below this optimum selenization temperature, Cu₇Se₄ and In₂Se are found as additional phases, which is consistent with the formation mechanism of CuInSe₂ in the normal melting method.
