Abstract
The stochiometric mix of evaporating materials for the $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CuInSe_2$compound crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $620^{\circ}C$ and $410^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin film, we have found that the values of spin orbit splitting $\Delta$So and the crystal field splitting $\Delta$Cr. From the photoluminescence measurement on $CuInSe_2$single crystal thin film, we observed free exciton ($E_x$) existing only high quality crystal and neutral bound exciton ($A^{\circ}$, X) having very strong peak intensity. Then, the full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) and binding energy of neutral donor bound exciton were 7 meV and 5.9 meV, respectivity. By haynes rule, an activation energy of impurity was 59 meV.
