The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and micro-Raman spectroscopy indicate that flash lamp annealing leads to a more homogeneous polycrystalline structure and reduces the defect concentration in the CIGSS layer. Additionally, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDS) measurements show that copper concentration slightly increases, with a slight decrease in the concentration of Ga and In.
