CuInS2 (CIS) is studied widely as a promising absorber material for high efficient and low cost thin film solar cells. CIS thin films are prepared on soda lime glass substrates using Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique at different deposition temperatures (40 to 70 °C). The structural, compositional and optical properties are studied with x-ray diffractometer, energy dispersive x-ray analyzer and spectrophotometer. The influence of the deposition temperature on the properties of CIS thin films is discussed in this paper in detail.
