A method for manufacturing a CI(G)S-based thin film using a Cu&#x2014;Se two-component nanoparticle flux, and a CI(G)S-based thin film manufactured by the method are provided. The method for manufacturing the CI(G)S-based thin film, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: manufacturing Cu&#x2014;Se two-component nanoparticles and In nanoparticles; manufacturing a slurry comprising the Cu&#x2014;Se two-component nanoparticles by mixing the Cu&#x2014;Se two-component nanoparticles, a solvent, and a binder, and manufacturing a slurry comprising the In nanoparticles by mixing the In nanoparticles, a solvent, and a binder; forming a thin film in which a plurality of layers are laminated by alternately coating the slurry comprising the Cu&#x2014;Se two-component nanoparticles and the slurry comprising the In nanoparticles on a substrate, regardless of order; and heat-processing the thin film which is formed.

A method of forming a nanometer-scale prominence and depression structure on a zinc oxide thin film in a wet-etching method, and the method includes the steps of: preparing a substrate; forming a nano structure having a height and a width of a nanometer range; forming the zinc oxide thin film on the substrate on which the nano structure is formed; and wet-etching the zinc oxide thin film, in which in the wet-etching step, zinc oxide having relatively low physical compactness is preferentially etched since the zinc oxide is positioned on the nano structure, and thus the prominence and depression structure is formed around the nano structure by the etching. The method is effective in that a thin film can be uniformly formed on the prominence and depression structure, and an electrolyte or an organic material may uniformly penetrate between the prominence and depression structure.
