Abstract

Hydrogen diffusion in CuInSe 2 single crystals and CuInS2 thin films was studied by measuring the spreading of implantation profiles upon annealing. Deep implantation with an ion energy of 10 keV and sub-surface implantation with 300 eV were applied. The diffusion coefficients in both materials were found to be in the order of 10-14 to 10-13 cm2/s in the temperature range between 400 and 520 K.These fairly low diffusivities are typical for a trap and release transport process rather than intrinsic diffusion of interstitial hydrogen. In the polycrystalline CuInS2 films, hydrogen leaves the sample through the grain boundaries.
