In this paper, thickness dependent structural, surface morphological, optical and electrical properties of RF magnetron sputtered CuIn0.8Ga0.2Se2 (CIGS) thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer and Keithley electrical measurement unit. The peak intensity along (112) plane as well as crystallite size was found to increase with thickness. However, for higher film thickness >1.16 μm, crystallinity reduced due to higher % of Cu content. TEM analysis confirmed pollycrysallinity as well as chalcopyrite phase of deposited films. The band gap was found to decrease with increase in thickness yielding a minimum value of 1.12 eV for film thickness 1.70 μm. The I–V characteristics showed the ohmic behavior of metal semiconductor contact with higher conductivity for film thickness 1.16 μm.
