Abstract In order to obtain a suitable back contacting electrode for Cu(InGa)Se2-based photovoltaic devices, a molybdenum thin film was deposited using a chemical vapor transport (CVT) during the hydrogen reduction of MoO3 powder. A MoO2 thin film was successfully deposited on substrates by using the CVT of volatile MoO3(OH)2 at 550℃ for 60 min in a H2 atmosphere. The Mo thin film was obtained by reduction of MoO2 at 650℃ in a H2 atmosphere. The Mo thin film on the substrate presented a low sheet resistance of approximately 1 Ω/sq.
