INFLUENCE OF BATH TEMPERATURE AND PH VALUE ON PROPERTIES OF CHEMICALLY DEPOSITED CU4SNS4 THIN FILMS

Thin films of Cu4SnS4 semiconductors were prepared by chemical bath deposition technique in aqueous solutions. The effects of various bath temperatures (40, 50 and 60 °C) and pH values (pH 0.5, pH 1.0 and pH 1.5) on growth of films were reported. The structure and morphology characteristics of thin...
