Annotation By X-ray characteristic radiation induced by focused proton beam, the distribution of compound components over the area of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (-PІXE) films is investigated and their elemental composition (PІXE) is determined. Nuclear scanning microprobe with the proton beam energy of 1,5 MeV and the transverse dimension of the probe of 4 × 4 m2 was used for the method realization. Films of four-component compound were obtained under different physical and technological deposition modes by the thermal co-evaporation of the components using electron-beam gun. Sodium glass with molybdenum sublayer heated to 400 C was used as the substrate. As a result of investigations it was established that the distribution of elements over the film area is homogeneous and their composition is determined by physical and technological conditions of preparation.
