Abstract

In this study, Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) thin films were deposited onto Mo coated soda lime glass (SLG) substrates using thermal evaporation deposition method. Stoichiometric CZTS powder (99.95%) is used as the source material. All the deposited samples were then sulfurized at different time from 10 minutes to 50 minutes at 580°C. The characteristics of the sulphurized films were investigated. Overall, the result showed a potential CZTS's existence although several secondary phases also being detected.
