In order to obtain single phase thin films of the system Ag-In-Te for thin film solar cell applications,<br />

electrodeposition techniques followed by a baking in Te atmosphere were used. For the formation of the<br />

precursor films three alternative processes were followed, 1t) the co-electrodeposición of Ag and In, 2d)<br />

a layer of Ag with an overlayer of InTe and 3d) a layer of Ag and an overlayer of In. The vacuum<br />

annealing were done with a source of Te metal close to the films that allowed to crystallize into ternary<br />

chalcopyrite phase the as deposited amorphous films. Bath compositions, deposition potentials and<br />

deposition times have been changed to obtain the precursor thin films on substrates of molybdenum<br />

supported by glass. In order to determine the optical properties, SnO 2 coated substrates were also used.<br />

The single phase films are obtained by further annealing in Te atmosphere in the 250-400 o C range with<br />

different cooling profiles. This annealing strongly affects the Te concentration as well as the In/Ag<br />

atomic ratio and the number of phases. Single chalcopyrite phase has been obtained for specific<br />

annealing conditions and is related to Te concentration.<br />

Composition and X-ray studies have been carried out and several phases of AgInTe 2 and In-rich<br />

Telluride chalcopyrites have been found. The film morphology and unit cell parameters for single<br />

phase samples depend strongly on the composition in the annealed samples.<br />
