摘要
Nanocrystalline thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) were grown on the glass substrates using the spray pyrolysis technique. The films were grown at a substrate temperature of 300 degrees C after which they were annealed at 350 degrees C in vacuum. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that the films crystallized in the kesterite structure. Energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) studies showed that the films possess the desired stoichiometry i.e. the proportion of Cu:Zn:Sn:S in the CZTS solid solution is close to 2:1:1:4. Secondary Ions Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) depth profiling confirmed the uniformity in elemental composition along the depth of the films. SEM studies showed that the films are covered with CZTS particles forming sheet like structures. AFM studies show that the size of the particles on the surface of the films is around 10 -15 nm. UV-VIS-NIR transmission spectra were used to determine the optical band gap of the CZTS films which was found to be around 1.55eV.
