Effect of Growth Parameters and Annealing Atmosphere on the Properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 Thin Films Deposited by Cosputtering by Arun Khalkar, Kwang-Soo Lim, Seong-Man Yu, Shashikant P. Patole, Ji-Beom Yoo

“…A comparative study between post annealing using sulfur vapor in a quartz tube furnace and sulfurization chamber using H2S gas was carried out to optimize the kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 phase. 10 min annealing at 530°C in the furnace in sulfur vapor eliminated all the secondary phases and formed kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4. The diffusion of sulfur in the film during the annealing process enhanced the crystallinity of the film. …”
