**6. Conclusion(s)**

Employing periodic mechanical perturbations during the electrodeposition process allows a better distribution of ionic species on the working electrode surface. This methodology represents a novel approach for the fabrication of thin films by electrodeposition. This has been demonstrated successfully in the synthesis of compact CIGS thin films. It has the advantage to obtain a homogeneous morphology CIGS films in the as-electrodeposited films, as well, in the annealed film. In this strategy, there is no dissolution of the film during the electrodeposition process, as taking place in pulse-reverse electrodeposition. It is a route to obtain CIGS films by electrodeposition with compact morphology and large grains. Further studies should be done about the mechanical perturbation frequency and the effect on the solar cell efficiency.
