[摘要]：Polycrystalline Cu(2)ZnSnS(4) (CZTS) thin films have been directly deposited on heating Mo-coated glass substrates by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method. The results of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicate that these CZTS thin films are Cu-rich and S-poor. The combination of X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and Raman spectroscopy reveals that these thin films exhibit strong preferential orientation of grains along [1 1 2] direction and small Cu(2-x)S phase easily exists in CZTS thin films. The lattice parameters and grain sizes have been examined based on XRD patterns and Atom Force Microscopy (AFM). The band gap (E(g)) of CZTS thin films, which are determined by reflection spectroscopy varies from 1.53 to 1.98 eV, depending on substrate temperature (T(sub)). The optical absorption coefficient of CZTS thin film (T(sub)=450 degrees C) measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is above 10(4) cm(-1). (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
