Abstract

Methods of manufacturing a CIGS thin film for a solar cell are provided. According to the method, a CIGS thin film having an ideal double band gap grade structure with a large particle size may be obtained by heat-treating a solution-treated CIG oxide thin film by a three-step chalcogenization process. Accordingly, performance of the solar cell may be improved.
