Nanocrystalline CuInSSe Thin Films by Chemical Bath Deposition Technique

Crystalline CuInSSe thin films have been deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition technique. The CuCl2, InCl3, thiourea and SeO2 were used as source materials for the Cu2+, In3+, S2- and Se2- ions and the Cu/In ratio was kept at 1.0. EDC was used as a complexing agent. The XRD, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX) and Optical transmission studies were used for structural analysis, surface morphology, elemental analysis and optical band gap, of the grown thin films respectively. The deposition parameters such as pH, deposition temperature and deposition time were optimized
