Abstract

In this work,a simple and low cost route is proposed to fabricate pure Cu₂SnS₃ and Cu₂XSnS₄ (X:Cu,Mg) thin films.The Cu₂XSnS₄ (X:Cu,Mg) film was synthesized by a novel dual source ultrasonic co-spray method for the first time.The structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of the films were well investigated.All the films show different structure,satisfactory morphology and p-type conductivity with a minimum resistivity of 4.82 × 10^-3 Ω cm for Cu₂CuSnS₄. Optical properties suggest the samples have band gap values of 1.4 eV, 1.65 eV and 1.76 eV for Cu₂SnS₃,Cu₂CuSnS₄ and Cu₂MgSnS₄ respectively, which is the optimal value for high efficient single or tandom thin film solar cell.
