SIESTA를 이용하여 GaSe 단일층에서 금속 원자(Ga)를 전이금속 원자(W)로 치환하였을 때($W_{Ga}$)의 구조 deformation, 에너지 안정성, 전자구조와 자성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 구조가 바뀌면서 평면에 수직한 방향으로 구조 변형이 나타났고, $W_{Ga}$에서 W의 NN는 Se이 되었다. Clean surface만큼 $W_{Ga}$도 안정된 구조임을 알 수 있었다. $W_{Ga}$에서 W에 의한 defect states가 up, down 6개씩 split되어 나타났으며, ${\Gamma}$ point에서 degenerated 경향을 보였다. 또한 W에 의한 magnetic moment는 $1{\mu}_B$인 것을 확인하였다. Defect states는 degenerated $d_{yz}$, $d_{zx}$ orbital character, degenerated $d_{xy}$, $dx^2-y^2$ orbital character, defect states는 $d_z{^2}$ orbital character을 띠는 것으로 나뉘었고, 이에 따라 에너지가 함께 높아졌다.

Cu(In,Ga)₃Se₅ (β-CIGS) has a band gap of 1.35 eV, which is an optimum value for high solar-energy conversion efficiency. The effects of Cu and Ga content on the cell performance were investigated previously. However, the effect of Se content on the cell performance is not well understood yet. In this work, β-CIGS films were fabricated by three-stage co-evaporation of elemental sources with various Se fluxes at the third stage instead of at all stages. The average composition of five samples was Cu_1.05(In_0.59,Ga_0.41)3Se_y, where the stoichiometric y value is 5.03 and the stoichiometric Se/metal (Se/M) ratio is 1.24. We varied the Se/metal ratio in a range from 1.18 to 1.28. We found that the best efficiency was achieved when the Se/M ratio was 1.24, which is exactly the stoichiometric value where the CIGS grains on the CIGS surface were tightly connected and faceted. With the optimum Se/M ratio, we were able to enhance the cell efficiency of a β-CIGS solar cell from 9.6% to 12.0% by employing a Na₂S post deposition treatment. Our results indicate that Na₂S post deposition treatment is very effective to enhance the cell efficiency to a level on par with that in α-CIGS cell.

The $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) thin film obtained by two-step process (metal deposition and Se annealing) has a rough surface morphology and many voids at the CIGS/Mo interface. To solve the problem a precursor that contains Se was employer by depositing a (In,Se)/(Cu,Ga) stacked layer. We devised a two-step annealing (vacuum pre-annealing and Se annealing) for the precursor because direct annealing of the precursor in Se environment resulted in the small grains with unwanted demarcation between stacked layers. After vacuum pre-annealing up to $500^{\circ}C$ the CIGS film consisted of CIGS phase and secondary phases including $In_4Se_3$, InSe, and $Cu_9(In,Ga)_4$. The secondary phases were completely converted to CIGS phase by a subsequent Se annealing. A void-free CIGS/Mo interface was obtained by the two-step annealing process. Especially, the CIGS film prepared by vacuum annealing $450^{\circ}C$ and subsequent Se annealing $550^{\circ}C$ showed a densely-packed grains with smooth surface, well-aligned bamboo grains on the top of the film, little voids in the film, and also little voids at the CIGS/Mo interface. The smooth surface enhanced the cell performance due to the increase of shunt resistance.

Photovoltaics is considered as one of the most promising new energy technology, because its energy source is omni present, pollution-free and inexhaustive. It is agreed that these solar cells must be thin film type because thin film process is cost-efficive in the fact that it uses much less raw materials and can be continuous. The defect chalcopyrite material $CuIn_3Se_5$ has been identified as playing an essential role in efficient photovoltaic action in $CuInSe_2$-based devicesm It has been reported to be of n-type conductivity, forming a p-n junction with its p-type counterpart $CuInSe_2$. Because the most efficient cells consist of the $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ quarternary, knowledge of some physical properties of the Ga-containing defect chalcopyrite $Cu(In,Ga)_3Se_5$ may help us better understand the junction phenomena in such devices.

The AgGa1-xInxSe2 films are deposited by a flash evaporation method onto pyrex glass substrates at temperatures between 5\ulcorner and 360\ulcorner. The single crystalline films which have X-ray diffraction peak of only (112) plane are preared at substrate temperature above 360\ulcorner. The prepared AgGa 1-xInxSe2 films are high photosensitive. The temperature coefficients of energy gap are found to be (-1.2~-4.0)x10**4 eV/K and (-3.1~-5.2)x10**-4 eV/K, and that of peak energy of spectral photoresponse curve are found to be (-1.1 ~ -3.0)x10**-4 eV/K(50K~100K) and (-2.4~-5.1)x10**-4 eV/K(100K~300K).

The stochiometric mix of evaporating materials for the $CdGa_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films. $CdGa_2Se_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperature were $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, 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 $CdGa_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.27{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$. $345cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. From the photoluminescence measurement on $CdGa_2Se_4$ single crystal thin film, we observed free excition ($E_x$) existing only high quality crystal and neutral bound exiciton ($D^{\circ},X$) having very strong peak intensity. Then. the full-width-at -half-maximum(FWHM) and binding energy of neutral donor bound excition were 8 meV and 13.7 meV, respectivity. By Haynes rule. an activation energy of impurity was 137 meV.

Cu(In, Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) 박막은 다원화합물이기 때문에 제조공정이 매우 까다롭다. 진공장치를 사용하는 제조 방법으로 동시증착법, 스퍼터링법 +셀렌화가 있고, 비진공 제조 방법으로 전기화학적인 전착법이 있다. 각 방법에 있어서도 출발 물질의 종류에 따라 다양한 제조 방법이 동원 될 수 있다. 진공증착에 의한 방법은 고품질의 박막을 얻는데 사용 되고 있으나 고가의 진공장비가 사용되므로 대면적화에 따른 제조비용 측면에서 문제가 있다. 이에 비하여, 전착법은 간단하면서도 저가로 대면적화를 이룰 수 있다는 장점 때문에, 많은 관심이 기울여지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Mo/Glass전극위에 Ga/(In + Ga) = 0.3의 성분비를 만족시키는 CIGS 박막을 전기화학적으로 제조하기 위하여, $Cu^{2+}$, $In^{3+}$, $Ga^{3+}$, $Se^{4+}$ 4성분을 모두 포함하는 전해질 수용액 내에서, 4성분의 이온들이 동시에 환원되는 전위를 조절하여 CIGS 박막을 전착 하였다. SEM을 이용하여 얻어진 CIGS 박막의 전착된 시료의 표면을 관찰하였고, EDS로 그 조성을 분석하였다. 또한, XRD를 이용하여 전착시료의 열처리 전후의 결정성변화를 조사하였다.

반자성 반도체인 MnxCd1-xGa2Se4의 단결정을 조성비 ( $0leq$ $X \leq$ 1) 영역에서 TVTP(time-varying temperature profile)에 의한 화학수송법으로 성장하였다. 성장된 단결정 은 자연면을 갖은 경면으로 성장되었으며, X = 1.0 경우인 단결정의 크기는 12 $\times$ 6 $\times$ 1.5mm3이었다. MnxCd1-xGa2Se4의 결정구조는 defect chalcopyrite 구조이었으며, 조성비 X 가 증가함에 따라 격자상수 a는 선형적으로 감소하고, 격자상수 c는 증가하였다. 또한 distortion factor 2-(c/a)는 감소하였다.
