In the world of today, energy is a common concern all over the world and all over the human, and is also an important material basis for social progress and human activities, which plays a crucial role in the healthy and continuous development of the global economy and the daily life of people. At present, fossil energy such as petroleum and coal is exhausted, and the use of the fossil energy generates a large amount of harmful gas, so that the ecological environment is irreversibly damaged and the survival of human beings is endangered. From the perspective of sustainable development, clean and pollution-free renewable energy sources, such as tidal energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, etc., are vigorously developed. With the enhancement of environmental awareness of people, the development of solar cells becomes the key direction in the research field of renewable energy resources at home and abroad.

By using vacuum magnetron sputtering technology, which is known for its high deposition rate and good large surface uniformity, many companies have been able to prepare high efficiency modules: MiaSol é 16.5%, 17.5% from Solar Frontier and 18.2% from AVANCIS. The solar Frontier produced CIGS without cadmium in 2019 to a single point world maximum efficiency of 23.3%. Although these companies can produce high-efficiency battery modules, highly toxic H is inevitably used in the production process thereof 2 Se gas or Se vapor. Based on H 2 The high toxicity of Se gas, the high energy consumption of Se vapor, the generated waste treatment and other practical problems, and the excessive selenium can be enriched on the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, which increases the equipment maintenance cost and maintenance frequency, so the selenium-free atmosphere high-temperature direct sputtering method becomes the key point of researchExternal selenium atmospheres and annealing are receiving increasing attention from many research groups. However, in the absence of a selenium atmosphere, a large number of VSe vacancies and InCu substitutional defects are formed by volatilization of selenium element in a high-temperature preparation process, and the internal defects of the prepared absorber layer are high, so that the preparation of a high-efficiency CIGS battery by directly sputtering a quaternary alloy target has great challenges.
