Characterisation of Cu2O/CuO thin films produced by plasma-assisted DC sputtering for solar cell application
Abstract
For large-scale implementation of devices magnetron sputtering is a practical method of producing metal oxides, however sputtered copper oxides tend to form as a mixture of Cu<sub>2</sub>O, Cu<sub>4</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and CuO, with Cu2O being particularly difficult to produce reliably in pure form. In this study, nanostructured thin films of Cu<sub>2</sub>O, Cu<sub>4</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and CuO were prepared using a novel reactive sputtering system, based on plasma-assisted DC magnetron sputtering with deposition and plasma assisted reaction zones spatially separated enabling separate control of film oxidation. X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterise the physical and optical properties and it is shown that plasma-assisted DC sputtering is a suitable technique for reliable production of CuO and Cu<sub>2</sub>O films in large areas at room temperature without the necessity of further processing. The results also indicate that solar cell performance may relate positively to the presence of crystalline Cu<sub>4</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (200) and/or Cu<sub>2</sub>O (111) over other crystalline forms of copper oxide or amorphous copper oxide thin films.
