Abstract
CuS thin films were prepared by using cost effective chemical bath deposition method at 353 K. Effects of thermal treatment on the structural and optical properties of prepared films were investigated using XRD technique, UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy by annealing at 473 K. It has been found that on annealing amorphous CuS were thermally converted to crystalline CuS thin films. Optical band gap was decreased on annealing due to quantum confinement effect. The presence of traces of Cu2S phase in the CuS matrix in the thin film was revealed by Raman spectroscopy.
