In the present work, we have investigated the influence of substrate temperature and solution concentration on copper oxide (CuO) thin film properties deposited by the spray pyrolysis technique. A set of CuO thin films was deposited on glass substrate with various substrate temperatures ranging from 400 to 650 degrees C at two copper salt molarities. The synthesized films' structure and morphology were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The optical properties were studied using UV-visible spectroscopy. The obtained results indicate that the substrate temperature is a key parameter controlling CuO films' growth mechanisms and their physical properties. The prepared films are mainly composed of a CuO monophase. The crystallite size is reduced by increasing the substrate temperature.
