| Description |
Here we present a method to grow the petal type structure of CZTS thin film on soda lime glass substrate using the stacked layer reactive sputtering and post-depostion annealing in N-2 atmosphere. Optical bandgap of the petal type structure of CZTS was determined using UV-VIS spectroscopy and the value was 1.5 eV. In XRD analysis, (112) plane having highest intensity and other supporting planes with low intensity peaks corresponding to (200), (220) and (312) revealed the presence of CZTS phase. It was further confirmed by the Raman analysis, where the Raman peaks at 288 cm(-1), 335 cm(-1) and 353 cm(-1) revealed the presence of CZTS phase. Petal type growth was observed in the scanning electron microscopy analysis. Elemental analysis was done by the EDAX. In EDAX analysis, It is observed that sample was Sn rich which may be responsible for petal type growth. Petal type growth of CZTS may be helpful in increasing the performance of the CZTS based thin film solar cell by phenomena of light scattering and enhanced surface area.
