We report the successful growth of quaternary Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using Nd:YAG laser. It was found that CZTSe films atomic ratios were close to target atomic ratios with a slight metal excess and selenium deficiency. Quaternary CZTSe films grew and crystallized as a stannite-type structure even at room temperature. All CZTSe films showed a p-type electrical conductivity with a high absorption coefficient of 10(4)-10(5) cm(-1), a bandgap of 1.5 eV and a carrier concentration of the order of 10(17)-10(18) cm(-1). These results show that pulsed laser deposition could be employed as a particularly effective deposition method for the preparation of quaternary compounds thin films.
