Single crystal and polycrystalline copper indium selenide deposited by the hybrid sputtering and evaporation method for photovoltaic devices

The results presented here impact the CuInSe$\sb2$ solar cells community in three areas: (1) fundamental understanding of CuInSe$\sb2$ growth and properties, (2) development and optimization of a potentially scalable deposition technique, and (3) improvement in solar cell performance based on a novel adhesion-promoting back contact layer. Each of these impacts on the general problem of irreproducibility in production of high-performance CuInSe$\sb2$ solar cells.
