development of Cu2ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe)-based solar cells. Although etching processes
have been developed for Cu (S, Se), Zn (S, Se), and CuSn (S, Se) secondary phases, so far
very little attention has been given to the role of Sn (S, Se). In this paper, we report a
chemical route using a yellow (NH4) 2S solution to effectively remove Sn (S, Se). We found
that Sn (S, Se) can form on the surface either because of stoichiometric deviation or by …
