The grain size varied with substrate temperature, copper content, and in variable ways with substrate type, and ranged in size from 0.1 to 5.0 μm. The morphology of copper-rich films appeared additionally to depend on the resident nucleation and growth of the Cu2−δSe binary compound. A microstructural model of polycrystalline thin film CuInSe2 is presented and suggests that the intergranular microstructure is dominated by the compositional and substrate temperature dependence of Cu2−δSe precipitation at grain boundaries and free surfaces. The intragranular microstructure of the near-stoichiometric grain is a phase-separated mixture of ordered chalcopyrite and disordered sphalerite, with <math><mtext>Cu</mtext><msub><mi></mi><mn>x</mn></msub><mtext>Se</mtext><mtext>(x=0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0)</mtext></math> minority phase inclusions.

Groups of modules having no significant change after ten humidity-freeze cycles are reported. Heating during module packaging or during environmental testing to temperatures above those normally encountered by modules in outdoor service may introduce a temporary power loss; the power recovers with time to near the initial power. Data indicate that temperature alone, rather than temperature combined with humidity, causes the temporary power loss and that CIS is not inherently sensitive to humidity. Hermetic seals are not in general necessary for CIS materials. The IQTP may improperly indicate poor performance if the temporary power loss is not considered in electrical performance testing between different sections of the environmental test procedures and at the end of all environmental tests. Data are not available to validate accelerated testing as a means of predicting long-term in-service performance; however, correlations between outdoor and accelerated testing are seen.</div>","PeriodicalId":101172,"journal":{"name":"Solar Cells","volume":"30 1","pages":"Pages 549-557"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0379-6787(91)90086-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74230222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
