In this work, superstrate-type configuration of glass/ITO/CdS/CZTSSe/Au was entirely fabricated by totally vacuum-based process. CZTSSe absorber layers were grown by RF magnetron sputtering technique using stacked layer procedure. SnS, CuSe and ZnSe solid targets were used as precursors and no additional step like the selenization process was applied. The structural and morphological properties of deposited CZTSSe layers were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDS) measurements. The optical and electrical properties of the CZTSSe thin films were investigated by UV–Vis spectroscopy, Hall-Effect and photoconductivity measurements. In addition, the device performance of the fabricated superstrate solar cell was examined. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.en10.1007/s10854-019-01477-9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCopper compoundsEnergy dispersive spectroscopyFabricationII-VI semiconductorsIV-VI semiconductorsLayered semiconductorsMagnetron sputteringScanning electron microscopySolar cellsThin filmsTin compoundsZinc compoundsDevice performanceEnergy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysisOptical and electrical propertiesRF magnetron sputtering techniqueSelenization processSolar-cell applicationsStructural and morphological propertiesVIS spectroscopySelenium compoundsArticle30121130111306Q2WOS:0004720792000362-s2.0-85065649381Q2
