Abstract

Pulsed Electron beam annealing of phosphorus implanted CuInS2 has been found to be an efficient method in p-type doping of CuInS2. A sheet resistance as low as 10.1 Ω/‮, a sheet carrier concentration as high as l.0 ×1016 cm−2, and a hole mobility as high as 499 cm2 /V.s have been obtained. The irradiation energy density for the best doping condition was determined to be in the ranges between 11–13 J/cm2. Using Van der Pauw/Hall technique in conjunction with a chemical etching technique, the effective carrier concentration profiles have been determined with a maximum carrier concentration of ∼9×1019cm−3. Excellent p-n CuInS2 homojunctions have been fabricated by electron-beam pulse annealing with anideality factor of 1.75.
