GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A THIN COPPER OXIDE LAYER AS A SOLAR CELL USING THE MAGNETRON SPRAYING METHOD ON A Si/ZnO SURFACE
In this paper, CuO and Cu₂O-based thin-film heterostructures were synthesized on a Si/ZnO substrate by magnetron sputtering. The effect of temperature and ion cleaning on the substrate surface was studied in the study. CuO and Cu₂O layers were grown in three different conditions: unheated, heated at 600°C, and cleaned with flash discharge ions. The crystallographic structure, phase state, surface morphology, elemental composition, and Raman spectroscopic properties of the resulting layers were analyzed using appropriate analytical methods. The results showed that high-temperature heating and ion cleaning produced homogeneous, dense, and highly crystalline layers. The resulting CuO/Cu₂O heterostructures are recommended as promising materials for creating solar cells.
