Özet
In this paper, growth and characterization of functional Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and ZnS materials are demonstrated. We propose a versatile growth method that depends on the deposition of stacked metallic film by electroplating followed by sulfurization in Sulfur ambient at 500 °C. We have investigated the effect of direct and indirect sulfurization methods ZnS materials were grown as a proof of concept material to make the comparison between two methods. Indirect sulfurization was found to produce higher quality materials and therefore used for CZTS material growth, as well. The results show that CZTS and ZnS materials were grown with high crystal quality in wurtzite and zincblende structure form, respectively. CZTS materials have ∼1.49 eV direct-band gap energy, hydrophilic surface and possess p-type conductivity. All the results are in good agreement with the literature and we believe that our versatile growth method is superior to most of vacuum and non-vacuum based growth methods when the large-scale production and low-cost fabrication are of particular interests. The developed method might not only be promising to grow CZTS and ZnS, but also other semiconductors that can be employed for various optoelectronic/electronic devices.
