In present work Cu{sub 2}S thin film fabricated on glass substrate by simple, cost effective chemical bath deposition method subsequently it annealed at 150°C. These films were studied for their structural, optical and electrical properties using X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectrophotometer and I-V system. The results show successful synthesis of Cu{sub 2}S thin films and improvement in crystalline nature of the thin film which resulted in reduced bad gap and resistance of the film. Thus these thin films prove to be a promising candidate for solar cell application.
