RF magnetron sputtered Cu2O thin films for solar conversion

Department of Physics, Hooghly Mohsin College, Hooghly – 712101, West Bengal, India

Thin films of Cu₂O were deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering and were characterized by techniques including XRD, AFM, and photocurrent. The structure, morphology and optical characteristics of the films were found to depend on the radio frequency magnetron deposition parameters. The corning glass is used as substrate. The RF magnetron sputtered Cu₂O films used for photovoltaic solar cell applications.
