Spectral analysis of copper zinc sulphide ternary thin film grown by solution growth technique

Abstract

Copper zinc sulphide ternary thin film has been grown and characterized by spectrophotometry. The optical properties considered revealed high absorbance and reflectance but low transmittance in the UV; low values of absorbance and reflectance accompanied but high transmittance in the VIS -IR regions. The possible applications were mentioned.

Effect of Deposition Temperature on the Properties of Copper-Zinc Sulphide Thin Films using Mixed Copper and Zinc Dithiocarbamate Precursors

“…These methods utilize two or more precursors with diverse possessions that may affect the quality and functionality of the films [7]. Uhuegbu and Babatunde [8] used copper chloride, zinc nitrate and thiourea as precursors to deposit CZS thin film while Rosado-Mendoza and Oliva [9] used zinc sulphate, copper chloride and thiourea as precursors for Zn, Cu and sulphur (S) respectively to determine the influence of Cu concentration on the properties of ZnS thin films using chemical bath deposition method. The same method was utilized by Ortiz-Ramos et al [10] using copper sulphate, zinc acetate and dimethyl sulphate.…”
