Controlled Sputtering Pressure on High-Quality Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> Thin Film for Substrate Configurated Solar Cells

Controlled Sputtering Pressure on High-Quality Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> Thin Film for Substrate Configurated Solar Cells

Magnetron sputtering has become an effective method in Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> thin film photovoltaic. Research found that post-selenization treatments are essential to produce stoichiometric thin films with desired crystallinity and orientation for the sputtered Sb<s...
