This work investigated the potential to achieve zinc oxide (ZnO) films for Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells window layer at controlled annealing conditions as a potential approach to address elemental inter-diffusion in CZTS solar cells. This involved rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of room-temperature oxygenated DC sputtered zinc thin films in an ambient of nitrogen gas at different temperatures. Structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of these films were determined by X-ray diffractometer, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectrophotometer, and Hall Effect measurement, respectively. ZnO phases were observed after annealing the films over 150 °C. The films’ grains sizes improved with increasing RTA temperature. An exponential decrease in these films’ resistivity was observed with increasing RTA temperature attaining the lowest value at 300 °C. The bandgap and average solar transmittance of the films increased with increasing RTA temperature achieving values that are potential for applications in CZTS solar cells window layer at RTA temperatures beyond 200 °C.

Indium doped tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on silicon wafer (100) and glass slide by ion assisted electron beam evaporation deposition. After deposition, the ITO thin films were annealed in vacuum (100-300°C) and their structural, optical and electrical properties were systematically investigated. X-ray diffraction,atomic force microscopy, ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometer and hall-effect measurement were employed to obtain information on the crystallization, transmission and resistivity the films.It was found that the rapid thermal annealing can improve the resistivity of ITO thin films which specializes for the transparent conductive layers.
