Fabrication and characterization of kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films deposited by electrostatic spray assisted vapour deposition method

---

Most of the high efficiency kesterite solar cells are fabricated by vacuum or hydrazine-based solution methods which have drawbacks, such as high cost, high toxicity or explosivity.In our contribution, an alternative non-vacuum and environmental friendly deposition technology called electrostatic spray assisted vapour deposition (ESAVD) has been used for the cost-effective growth of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films with well controlled structure and composition. CZTS
films have been characterized using a combination of XRD,XPS, SEM-EDX, AFM, and Raman spectroscopy. The results
demonstrated that adherent, uniform and homogeneous CZTS films without apparent secondary phases have been
produced by ESAVD. The atomic ratios measured by EDX are Cu/(ZnþSn)¼0.88 and Zn/Sn¼1.17,which are very
close with the reported high efficiency solar cells and can be finely tuned by formulating the precursor.CZTS films
exhibited a typical optical band gap of 1.53 eV from UV–Vis analysis. Cu2ZnSnS4 produced by the ESAVD are
being optimized towards the fabrication of high efficiency photovoltaic devices.
