    Cd1-xZnxTe∶Cu Thin films were prepared by co-evaporation method. X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), scanning electron microscope(SEM), UV-Vis transmission spectra, thermal probe, four-probe method, step profiler and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used to investigate the composition, structure, morphology, optical and electrical properties of Cd1-xZnxTe∶Cu thin films with different doping concentration. The results show that the resistivity of 10% copper doped Cd1-xZnxTe films increased several magnitude and the conductive type changed from p-type to n-type after annealing. The 20% cu-doped Cd1-xZnxTe films had not obvious change in conductive type and electrical resistivity after annealing and they exhibit good surface morphology. The transmissivity of 30% cu-doped Cd1-xZnxTe films decreased seriously below 10% after annealing, which indicate that they are not suitable to be the top cell materials in tandem structure. The 20% and 30% cu-doped Cd1-xZnxTe films were both p-type conductivity.
