Abstract

CZTS (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 ) has shown great promise in the preparation of absorption layer for low cost thin film solar cells because of its ideal band gap, low toxicity and abundance of the constituents. Several physical and chemical based methods are used to fabricate CZTS thin films. Sputtering is one of the more prominent methods of fabrication employed for preparing these CZTS based films. Sputtering offers better control over the film properties as compared to other methods of fabrication. Experimental methods using sputtering have led to successful fabrication of CIGS solar cells, commercially as well. This work summarizes the developmental work of CZTS films via the sputtering route and the performance of the solar cells based on them.
