• CuIn(5)S(8)
• Cu(2)SnS(3)
• Thin films
• Spray pyrolysis

This paper reports the successful deposition of CuIn(5)S(8) and Cu(2)SnS(3) thin films obtained on Pyrex glass substrates using annealing in a sulfur atmosphere at 550 degrees C during evaporation of copper on In(2)S(3) and SnS(2) sprayed thin films, respectively. The CuIn(5)S(8) and Cu(2)SnS(3) thin films crystallize in cubic structures. Under suitable experimental conditions, this procedure, using the mobility of copper and silver elements, can be used to prepare many ternary absorber layers from binary buffer materials.
