A method of heat-treating in the presence of Se to obtain CuInSe2, or a method of electroplating elemental selenium on an indium layer laminated on a copper layer and heat-treating it in an inert atmosphere (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 61-237476),
A method in which copper, indium, and selenium are sequentially vapor-deposited and heat-treated in a hydrogen-containing gas or an atmosphere containing selenium or sulfur in the hydrogen-containing gas (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-231313), and further, copper and indium are sequentially deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. After lamination, heat treatment is performed in the presence of a selenium-containing gas to obtain a CuInSe2 thin film (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 20381/1983).

てきた。[0003] Among these conventional techniques, there is a vapor phase selenization method in which copper and indium are heat-treated in the presence of a selenium-containing gas, or a solid-phase selenization method in which selenium is also formed as a solid phase and then heat-treated. It has been accepted by many researchers.

在している。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, among these methods, when H2 Se is used as a selenium source, extreme caution is required in storage and handling since H2 Se is extremely toxic. Furthermore, even if H2 Se is not used, if H2 is used in the reaction atmosphere, H2 Se
occurred, and there was a similar risk. In order to solve these problems, a method using an inert gas as a reaction atmosphere has been adopted, but N2, which is used as an inert gas,
Usually 0.1 to 10 ppm in gas or Ar gas

A lot of cost and attention had to be paid to countermeasures. (2) When the selenium source is Se gas or solid phase elemental selenium and the reaction atmosphere is an inert gas atmosphere, In is oxidized during the heat treatment process by a trace amount of oxygen that is normally contained as an impurity in the inert gas. and could not prevent the formation of undesired In2O3 in the final product.

As a result of research into the problem of the formation of In2O3 in products by reacting with In, it was found that O

Preferably, the inert gas is passed through Mg or Al heated to 300 to 650 °C, and heat treated in an inert gas atmosphere in which the oxygen concentration of the inert gas is adjusted so that the oxygen partial pressure is 10-10 atm or less. The above Cu, In

式中のMは金属を示す。[Operation] Normally, N2 or Ar gas supplied from a gas cylinder or in a liquefied state contains impurities of 10-5 to 1
It contains 0-7 atm of oxygen, but when this gas is passed through a heated metal oxygen absorber, the following chemical formula:
Oxygen can be removed until the reaction shown in Chemical Formula 1 reaches equilibrium. M in the formula represents a metal.

0 atm 程度までの脱酸素が可能であるが、実際上
可能な脱酸素は酸素分圧10−20 atm までであ
る。For example, when Mg and Al are used as metals,
Oxygen in the gas can be removed by the reaction of these into MgO and Al2 O3, and theoretically the oxygen partial pressure is 10-6.
Although it is possible to deoxidize up to about 0 atm, deoxidation that is actually possible is limited to an oxygen partial pressure of up to 10-20 atm.

熱力学的に安定であるので、10−15 〜10−20

行しないと考えられる。In equilibrium theory, oxygen partial pressure = 10-15 ~ 1
Even at 0-20 atm, In is oxidized and becomes In2 O3
However, the above M generated by deoxidation
Since gO or Al2O3 is thermodynamically more stable than In2O3, 10-15 to 10-20
It is considered that the oxidation of In does not substantially proceed if the oxygen concentration is atm.

0℃および 660℃であるため、これらの温度よりも
低い温度で操作することが望ましいからである。[0013] Furthermore, the reason why the deoxidation temperature is set at 300°C or higher is that below this temperature, the ability to remove oxygen is poor and the reaction rate is slow. On the other hand, the maximum is 650
The melting point of Mg and Al is 65°C, respectively.
This is because the temperatures are 0°C and 660°C, so it is desirable to operate at a temperature lower than these temperatures.
