Abstract(in English) We could prepared Cu_2ZnSnS_4 (CZTS) thin films for the first time by sulfurization of RF co-sputtered precursors. This film is an interesting material for absorber layer in a solar cell. This semiconductor dose not contain any rare-metal such as indium and any toxic material such as selenium. The X-ray diffraction pattern of CZTS thin films confirmed the quaternary compounds formed in the stannite structure and a ternary compound Cu_3SnS_4 as a secondary phase. This secondary phase drastically disappeared with increase in the sulfurization hold time. In this study, the optical band gap energy was estimated as 1.45[eV] which is very close to the optimum value for a solar cell absorber.
