$CuInS_{2}$ thin films were synthesized by sulpurization of Cu/In Stacked elemental layer deposited onto glass Substrates by vacuum furnace annealing at temperature 200[$^{\circ}C$]. And structural and electrical properties were measured in order to certify optimum conditions for growth of the ternary compound semiconductor $CuInS_{2}$ thin films with non-stoichiometry composition. $CuInS_{2}$ thin film was well made at the heat treatment 200[$^{\circ}C$] of SLG/Cu/ln/S stacked elemental layer which was prepared by thermal evaporator, and chemical composition of the thin film was analyzed nearly as the proportion of 1 : 1 : 2. Physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions substrate temperature, annealing and temperature, annealing time by XRD, FE-SEM and Hall measurement system. At the same time, carrier concentration, hall mobility and resistivity of the thin films was $9.10568{\times}10^{17}$ [$cm^{-3}$], 312.502 [$cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$] and $2.36{\times}10^{-2}$ [${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$], respectively.

The copper indium disulfide ($CuInS_2$) thin film was manufactured using sputtering and thermal evaporation methods, and the annealing with sulfurization process was used in the vacuum chamber to the substrate temperature on the glass substrate, the annealing temperature and the composition ratio, and the characteristics thereof were investigated. The $CuInS_2$ thin film was manufactured by the sulfurization of a soda lime glass (SLG) Cu/In/S stacked [1] elemental layer deposited on a glass substrate by vacuum chamber annealing [2] with sulfurization for various times at a temperature of substrate temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. The structure and electrical properties of the film was measured in order to determine the optimum conditions for the growth of $CuInS_2$ ternary compound semiconductor $CuInS_2$ thin films with a non-stoichiometric composition. The physical properties of the thin film were investigated under various fabrication conditions [3,4], including the substrate temperature, annealing temperature and annealing time by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field Emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and Hall measurement systems. [5] The sputtering rate depending upon the DC/RF power was controlled so that the composition ratio of Cu versus In might be around 1:1, and the substrate temperature affecting the quality of the film was varied in the range of room temperature (RT) to $300^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $100^{\circ}C$, and the annealing temperature of the thin film was varied RT to $550^{\circ}C$ in intervals of $100^{\circ}C$.

For the manufacture of the $CuGaS_2$, Cu, Ga and S were vapor-deposited in the named order. Among them, Cu and Ga were vapor-deposited by using the Evaporation method in consideration of their adhesive force to the substrate so that the composition of Cu and Ga might be 1 : 1, while the surface temperature having an effect on the quality of the thin film was changed from R.T.[$^{\circ}C$] to 150$[^{\circ}C]$ at intervals of 50$[^{\circ}C]$. As a result, at 400$[^{\circ}C]$ of the Annealing temperature, their chemical composition was measured in the proportion of 1 : 1 : 2. It could be known from this experimental result that it is the optimum condition to conduct Annealing on the $CuGaS_2$ thin film under a vacuum when the $CuGaS_2$ thin film as an optical absorption layer material for a solar cell is manufactured.

The properties of thin film solar cells based on electrodeposited $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ were investigated. The proposed solar cell fabrication method involves a single-step $CuInSe_2$ thin film electrodeposition followed by sulfurization in a tube furnace to form a $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ quaternary phase. A sulfurization temperature of $450-550^{\circ}C$ significantly affected the performance of the $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ thin film solar cell in addition to its composition, grain size and bandgap. Sulfur(S) substituted for selenium(Se) at increasing rates with higher sulfurization temperature, which resulted in an increase in overall band gap of the $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ thin film. The highest conversion efficiency of 3.12% under airmass(AM) 1.5 illumination was obtained from the $500^{\circ}C$-sulfurized solar cell. The highest External Quantum Efficiency(EQE) was also observed at the sulfurization temperature of $500^{\circ}C$.
