Solar cells with Cu(In, Ga)Se2absorbers rely on the three‐stage co‐evaporation process with Cu‐poor/Cu‐rich/Cu‐poor absorber deposition conditions for highest efficiency devices. During the three‐stage process, the formation and evolution of different selenide phases with changing compositions throughout the process crucially determine the final absorber quality. In this contribution, we monitor the evolution of crystalline phases in real‐time with an X‐ray diffraction (XRD) line detector setup implemented into an evaporation setup. Using the common three‐stage process, we prepare and compare samples covering the full alloying range from CuInSe2to CuGaSe2. Thein situXRD allows the detection of the crystalline phases present at all times of the process as well as an advanced analysis of the phase evolution through a closer look at peak shifts and the full width at half maximum. For samples with a Ga/(Ga + In) ratio (GGI) < 0.5, distinct phase transitions associated with the transition to the reported vacancy compounds Cu(In,Ga)5Se8and Cu(In, Ga)3Se5are observed. No such indication was found for samples with a GGI > 0.5. For Ga‐rich Cu(In, Ga)Se2phases with a GGI of 0.55, the XRD analysis evidenced a Ga‐rich phase segregation before the stoichiometric point was reached. The above findings are discussed in view of their implication on wide gap solar cell performances.
