This Letter reports real time spectroscopic ellipsometry studies of copper indium diselenide (CuInSe 2 ; CIS). A Volmer‐Weber nucleation process was identified from the measured thickness dynamics, and accurate dielectric functions were obtained in‐situ , avoiding oxidation while correcting for surface roughness. The energy and broadening parameters of the critical points in the dielectric functions obtained versus measurement temperature (including three previously unreported ones) yield a database that is valuable for on‐line materials analysis.
