Abstract
Cu 2 SnS 3 is an attractive material for photovoltaic applications due to its inherent properties, and because is formed only by earth abundant elements. In this work we present the preparation of Cu 2 SnS 3 layers by a sequential process based in the DC-sputtering of metallic precursors followed by a reactive annealing. We analyze the impact of metallic composition (Cu/Sn ratio) and order (Cu/Sn or Sn/Cu), as well as thermal treatment conditions (one-step vs two-steps annealing, temperature and S partial vapor pressure). In a first optimization we report a device with 2.4% efficiency, discussing the efficiency limitations and challenges to increase this value.
