In this work, copper-doped zinc oxide films (ZnO:Cu) were deposited by spray pyrolysis on glass substrates. The influence of doping concentration (0-10 at.%) on morphological, structural, optical and electrical properties of the ZnO:Cu films was investigated. Electrical characterization consisted in measuring the variation of electrical conductivity with temperature; they presented a typical semiconductor material behavior. Based on x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, it was able to confirm that the films are polycrystalline having a wurtzite hexagonal structure, preferentially oriented in the c-axis (002), and the crystallite size ranged from 41.60 to 50.70 nm. The optical characterization revealed that ZnO:Cu films present band gap energy between 3.18 and 3.27 eV. The films were homogeneous with good adhesion to the substrate. The results indicate the viability of using them in optoelectronic devices.
