Problems solved by technology

There are two methods for selenization, one is to introduce H into the vacuum heat treatment furnace chamber 2 Se undergoes a chemical vapor phase reaction method, but due to the H 2 Se is a highly toxic and flammable gas, so this method is difficult to promote; the other is to pass solid selenium vapor into the vacuum heat treatment furnace chamber, and at a certain temperature, Se atoms react with Cu, In, and Ga atoms in the alloy prefabricated layer to form CIGS film
However, in the process of selenization, it is necessary to rapidly raise the temperature and cross the temperature range of 300-450 ° C, because it is easy to generate Ga in this temperature range, which is easy to volatilize. 2 Se
