Abstract

The chemistry of formation of copper sulfide and copper indium disulfide films by the chemical spray pyrolysis process has been investigated. It was established that the formation of copper sulfide films by the spray process of water solutions of CuCl2 and SC(NH2)2 passes through the stage of formation of intermediate complex compound Cu(SCN2H4)Cl·H2O in the initial solution. Thermal behaviour studies in air exhibit rearrangement of the complex at temperatures higher than 210 °C with formation of copper sulfide. Copper oxide is the decomposition product at temperatures higher than 700 °C in air. CuInS2 is formed by the reaction between copper and indium sulfides.
