Cu₂ZnSnSe₄ (CZTSe) is attracting more and more attention as an alternative to the well-established Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ material system for thin-film photovoltaics due to its composition of earth-abundant elements. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique to detect secondary phases in the thin-film absorber layers. Futhermore, using polarization-dependent measurements it is possible to gain information on the crystal orientation when performed on samples with a preferential grain orientation. We present a comparative study of polycrystalline absorber layers with and without a preferential grain orientation. The results are analyzed using theoretical modeling of the Raman line intensities.
