3/5 When In2Se3 layers deposited onto bare soda lime glasses were immersed in the copper solution no ion-exchange reaction occurred and the composition and appearance of the films remained unchanged (to within the accuracy of the EDX measurements). The same was true for In2Se3 layers deposited onto FTO/glass and ITO/glass substrates. When a small piece of Mo/glass was included into the bath, limited incorporation of Cu into the In2Se3 layer was observed (Table 1). Substrate Cu In Se Glass 0.5 45.1 54.4 FTO/Glass 1.2 43.5 55.3 ITO/Glass 0.8 43.7 55.5 Glass (Mo in bath) 5.7 38.0 56.3 Mo/Glass 26.1 28.5 45.4 Table 1: Composition of resulting layers after immersion of In2Se3 layers on various substrate materials into the copper solution. Sufficient copper incorporation was only obtained for substrate materials containing a molybdenum layer. XRD diffractograms are displayed in Figure 1 for samples at three stages of processing. All peaks in the as deposited In2Se3 layer were indexed to the JCPDS files 40-1407 (hexagonal �-In2Se3), 71-0250 (hexagonal In2Se3, calculated) and 42-1120 (Mo). After immersion in the copper solution all but one of the In2Se3 peaks weaken in intensity (relative to the Mo (110) peak). The exception is the peak at 27.6°, identified as the 006 peak (27.592° in 40-0470). Two additional peaks are present in the diffractogram at this stage, one at 26.8° and the other at 44.5°. Both of these peaks are associated with fcc �-Cu2-xSe. The formation of copper selenide with copper in its monovalent state requires that another species in the bath is oxidised. The dependence of the ion-exchange process on the presence of Mo in the bath suggests that the reduction of Cu 2+ ions to Cu + is performed by oxidation of Mo, however this has not been confirmed. After selenization, all peaks were indexed to JCPDS file 40-1487 (CuInSe2). The chalcopyrite peaks (101), (103), (211) and (105/213) are all observed. No significant preferred orientation is calculated from the XRD diffractogram of the selenized sample. There is no evidence of secondary oxide or selenide phases in the diffractogram.

XPS measurements on the Copper Treated sample showed that it had a graded composition, with peak copper concentration corresponding to minimum In concentration. The Se concentration decreases within the copper containing section of the layer and this is consistent with the formation of Cu2-xSe as it has a higher metal-to-chalcogen ratio than In2Se3. The depth profile of the Selenized sample is broadly homogenised, though a slight increase in the concentration of indium throughout the depth of the sample is observed.
