摘要
A technique has been developed that can measure the thickness of a 30-70 nm thin film of cadmium sulfide on a Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 substrate, in real time, as it grows in a chemical bath. The technique does not damage the film, and can be used to monitor batch depositions and roll-to-roll depositions with equal accuracy. The technique is based on reflectance spectroscopy through the chemical bath. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V.
