Abstract

Solar technologies today are focused on thin film technology which has a lower cost of manufacturing at a large scale production compared to crystalline silicon in which the cost is relatively higher. Cadmium telluride thin films are one of the biggest potential to replace the former silicon-based solar cell materials. In spite of that, the detrimental effects of cadmium toxicity on human health and environment along with the rarity of tellurium have been studied and published in recent years. In this research, indium selenide thin film is selected to be studied in detail because of its non-toxicity elements. Indium selenide thin film has been fabricated via sequential thermal evaporation method using indium and selenium powder. XRD results showed that indium selenide thin films are formed at high annealing temperatures. AFM results showed that the indium/selenium thin films surface roughness generally increases as annealing temperature increases while selenium/indium thin films surface roughness remains in a proximity value.
