Abstract

A method of making a semiconductor structure includes a step of sputtering silver, copper, indium, and gallium on a substrate in an ambient including at least one chalcogen to deposit an alloy of silver, copper, indium, gallium, and at least one chalcogen. A film of the alloy can be deposited on a continuously moving substrate with a high throughput to form a p-type semiconductor absorber layer of a photovoltaic cell.
