AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding alternative methods to measure Indium concentration after copper etching processes in CIGS films, as the original plan to use absorption spectroscopy is delayed. Participants suggest X-ray fluorescence and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) as viable options, provided the necessary equipment is available. Additionally, wet analysis is mentioned as another potential method, though it is noted to be more labor-intensive than the previously mentioned techniques.

I am undergoing a research term at my university working with photovoltaics. We are required to measure the concentration of Indium after doing copper etching processes with CIGS films. We've considered absorption spectroscopy but it will be weeks until we have the parts necessary to use this method and I would like to start sooner. Does anyone have any other methods or ideas? Thank you very much!

Xray fluorescence and SIMS should both work if you have access to the equipment.

Thanks! Are there any others?
 
Wet Analysis could be another way out.

but unfortunately it requires bit more workout than those formerly described by phyzguy!
