摘要: The present study aims to investigate the optimum deposition conditions for preparation of CZTS thin films using spray pyrolysis method. is a vital semiconducting material now days, as it requires constituents, which are non-toxic and easily available well. Taguchi approach implemented optimization. Major quality control parameters considered are: copper zinc plus tin (Cu/Zn + Sn) ratio; (Zn/Sn) substrate temperature; time. Three levels each parameter selected. This attributes L9 (34) orthogonal array according design. signal noise (S/N) ratio an analysis variance carried out achieve combination parameters. In study, optimized in terms band gap. solar cell fabricated experiment A novel fabrication (inverted) introduced can cover full light spectra. FTO/i-ZnO/Al:ZnO/CdS/CZTS/CuS/FTO. More than 17% improvement efficiency observed by condition best achieved 2, among all 9 arrays. Furthermore, specific condition, response surface methodology (RSM) implemented. RSM multiple (band gap efficiency). characterized X-ray diffraction field emission scanning electron microscopy. Optical properties studied UV–Visible spectroscopy. elemental energy-dispersive
