Copper oxide thin films were obtained using pulsating spray pyrolysis method. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of fabricated films were studied. X-ray analysis revealed that the CuO thin films are single-phase. The study of films morphology by SEM and AFM methods showed that the obtained films have a fairly high surface roughness and contain grains of different shapes and sizes. It was found that the obtained films of copper oxide have high values of the absorption coefficient, which confirms the possibility of their use as absorbing layers for solar cells. The obtained values of the optical band gap of the material are in the range from 1.45 eV to 1.60 eV. Raman spectroscopy revealed three modes A1g, B1g, and B2g, of the crystal structure of monoclinic CuO. The devices based on p-type copper oxide are promising for solar cells fabrication because they can reduce production costs, due to their low cost and inexpensive production methods compared to silicon solar cells fabrication.

Tin Oxide and Indium doped Tin Oxide (SnO2:In) thin films were deposited on glass and Silicon  substrates  by  thermal evaporation technique.  X-ray diffraction pattern of  pure SnO2 and SnO2:In thin films annealed at 650oC and the results showed  that the structure have tetragonal phase with preferred orientation in (110) plane. AFM studies showed an inhibition of grain growth with increase in indium concentration. SEM studies of pure  SnO2 and  Indium doped tin oxide (SnO2:In) ) thin films showed that the films with regular distribution of particles and they have spherical shape.  Optical properties such as  Transmission , optical band-gap have been measured and calculated.
