Abstract
In this work, a novel process to fabricate copper zinc tin sulfide (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 , CZTS) thin films under non-vacuum system was reported. CZTS thin film was prepared successfully by sulfurizing stacked CZT sol-gel layers and thioacetamide (C 2 H 5 NS, TAA) layers. The thin films presenting different characteristics due to different copper sources were observed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman shift peaks showed that copper from copper (II) acetate (CuOAc) attributed to CZTS while copper from copper (II) chloride attributed to Cu 2 S. Field emission scanning electron microscopy also showed different morphologies.
