As major attention has been paid to transition metal oxide semiconductor suitable for solar cell, photo detector and gas sensor, present study embark on the structural, optical and electrical characterization of Ag doped CuO thin films prepared using chemical spray pyrolysis technique at the constant substrate temperature of 350 �C. For Ag doping, various concentrations of silver acetate (0.5-3.0 wt.%) was used in the sprayed precursor solution. Confirmed monoclinic lattice shows the tenorite phase formation of CuO in the pure and Ag doped films. The optical band gap of the films was in the range of 2.4 -3.4 eV. A minimum resistivity of 0.0017x103 ohmcm was achieved in the 0.5 wt.% Ag doped film, and its optical band gap was 2.74 eV.
