Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were deposited using the cosputtering technique. The growth parameters, such as working pressure, target powers, and postannealing atmosphere, were optimized for CZTS films deposition. A comparative study between post annealing using sulfur vapor in a quartz tube furnace and sulfurization chamber using H2S gas was carried out to optimize the kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 phase. 10 min annealing at 530 degrees C in the furnace in sulfur vapor eliminated all the secondary phases and formed kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4. The diffusion of sulfur in the film during the annealing process enhanced the crystallinity of the film. The kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and optical measurements. The film showed phonon peaks corresponding to the kesterite CZTS, high-absorption coefficient (1.1 x 10(5) cm(-1)), and desired optical direct band gap (1.5 eV).
