Stacked precursors of Cu. Sri, and Zn were fabricated on glass/Mo substrates by electron beam evaporation. Six kinds of precursors with different stacking sequences were prepared by sequential evaporation of Cu, Sri, and Zn with substrate heating. The precursors were sulfurized at temperatures of 560 degrees C for 2 h in an atmosphere of N-2+sulfur vapor to fabricate Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films for solar cells. The sulfurized films exhibited X-ray diffraction peaks attributable to CZTS. Solar cells using CZTS thin films prepared from six kinds of precursors were fabricated. As a result, the solar cell using a CZTS thin film produced by sulfurization of the Mo/Zn/Cu/Sn precursor exhibited an open-circuit voltage of 478 mV, a short-circuit current of 9.78 mA/cm(2), a fill factor of 0.38, and a conversion efficiency of 1.79%.
