摘要
We report on the growth and properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films spray-deposited on soda lime glass (SLG) and Mo-, SnO2:F (FTO)-, and ZnO:Al (AZO)-coated glass substrates. The compositional, structural, microstructural, and optical properties of the films were analyzed as a function of substrate surface. The films (prepared under identical conditions) exhibited different grain sizes because of substrate surface difference. Film growth on Mo and FTO surfaces was uniform, but that on SLG was nonuniform, and we observed grain clustering. Grain growth on the AZO surface was very low and nonuniform. The direct optical bang gap of the films was 1.38 eV.
