ABSTRACT

Tin selenide (SnSe) and copper indium diselenide (CuInSe₂) compounds were synthesized by high temperature reaction method using combination of sealed ampoule (at relatively low pressure ~10-1 Pa without inert gas) and heating at specific temperature profile in rocking furnace. Powder X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that the products involved only single phases of SnSe and of CuInSe₂ only. Using the reaction products as source materials, the SnSe and CuInSe₂ thin films were vacuum-deposited on glass substrates at room temperature. Structural, elemental, surface morphological and optical properties of the as-deposited films were studied by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. Single phase of SnSe and CuInSe₂ films were obtained by thermal evaporation technique from synthesized SnSe and CuInSe2 compound without further treatment.

Keywords: CuInSe; SnSe; solid state reaction; source material; thin films

ABSTRAK

Sebatian timah selenida (SnSe) dan kuprum indium diselenida (CuInSe₂) telah disintesis pada tindak balas bersuhu tinggi menggunakan gabungan ampul yang ditutup kedap (pada kadar tekanan rendah ~10-1 Pa tanpa gas lengai) dan pemanasan pada profil suhu khusus dalam relau berayun. Analisis pembelauan sinar-X serbuk mendapati hasil sintesis yang diperolehi adalah SnSe dan CuInSe₂ fasa tunggal. Serbuk yang telah disintesis digunakan sebagai bahan sumber untuk menyediakan filem nipis SnSe dan CuInSe₂ meggunakan kaedah penyejatan dengan haba di dalam vakum. Kajian sifat struktur, komposisi, morfologi dan optik untuk filem yang dienapkan dijalankan dengan menggunakan pembelauan sinar-X (XRD), analisis penyerakan tenaga sinar-X (EDX), mikroskopi medan pancaran pengimbasan elektron (FESEM) dan spektroskopi UV-Vis-NIR. SnSe and CuInSe₂ fasa tunggal dapat diperoleh tanpa melalui rawatan selanjutnya melalui kaedah penyejatan dengan haba di dalam vakum menggunakan sebatian SnSe dan CuInSe₂ yang telah disintesis sebagai bahan sumber.

Kata kunci: Bahan sumber; CuInSe₂; filem nipis; SnSe; tindak balas keadaan pepejal
