Abstract

See full text

A high-throughput method of forming a semiconductor precursor layer by use of low-melting chalcogenides is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises of forming a precursor material comprising group IB-chalcogenide and/or group IIIA-chalcogenide particles, wherein amounts of the group IB or IIIA element and amounts of chalcogen in the particles are selected to be at a desired stoichiometric ratio for the group IB or IIIA chalcogenide that provides a melting temperature less than a highest melting temperature found on a phase diagram for any stoichiometric ratio of elements for the group IB or IIIA chalcogenide. The method includes disposing the particle precursor material over a surface of a substrate and heating the particle precursor material to a temperature sufficient to react the particles to form a film of a group IB-IIIA-chalcogenide compound. The method may include at least partially melting the particles.
