Electrical Conductivity of CUXS Thin Film Deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) Technique

Abstract

Thin films of CuxS have successfully been deposited on glass substrates using the Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) technique. The films were then investigated for their electrical properties. The results showed that the electrical conductivities of the CuxS films with different molarities (n) of thiourea (Tu), determined using the two-point probe technique, decreased with increase in the molarities of Thiourea . Thus, the conductivity ranged from 1.23 x 10-7 – 1.3 x 10-1 S/cm.
