Abstract	The conversion efficiency of CIGS solar cells has reached up to a 20.3% record value [1]. It is desirable to reduce the CIGS cell cost by lowering down the manufacturing cost to enable its broader applications in the market place. Solution-based deposition offers an opportunity to fabricate CIGS thin film solar cells at a more competitive cost compared to the conventional vacuum-based process. Recently, several non-vacuum technologies, including Inkjet printing [2], electroplating [3], hydrazine [4] and nanoparticles [5], have shown great potentials to achieve comparable results with vacuum technologies. However, there are still considerable drawbacks which impede their application in a wider market field, such as the toxicity and flammability of dissolving solvents, tedious preparation process of precursor inks and fatal residuals left from organic compounds. Therefore, a versatile and controllable ink formula and an affordable deposition process are desired to fulfill the low-cost and safety requirements. In order to achieve decent conversion efficiency, the ideal chalcopyrite CIGS absorber layer should be also free of secondary phases and contaminations including binary CuSe phase, amorphous carbon and residual from solution deposition. Herein, a novel solution-based process using low cost precursors that is capable of achieving these goals is reported.
