In the present work, Cu{sub 2}ZnSnS{sub 4} (CZTS) thin films have been fabricated onto the glass substrate by simple and economic chemical bath deposition technique{sup 1}, and the effect of deposition temperature is reported. The deposition temperatures used were 50°C and 60°C for a deposition time of 60 min, which are significantly lower than earlier reports. These CZTS thin films were characterized for optical, electrical, morphological and elemental properties using, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, I-V system for photosensitivity, two probe resistivity system for resistivity, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
