Cu2ZnSnS4 films have been successfully made by Sol-Gel process. Precursors of CuCl2, ZnCl2, SnCl2 and SC(NH2)2 were mixed in 2-methoxyethanol with monoethanolamine added to stabilizer. Cu2ZnSnS4 film was deposited on glass slides by screen coating technique and annealed temperature at 473 K, 573 K, 673 K and
773 K without sulfurization to study formation the phase. The result was tetragonal kesterite crystal structure at the planes (112), (200), (220), (312) and (112) show tetragonal structure and peak according to
PDF Card-00-026-0575. The lattice constants were a = 5.413 Å and c = 10.771 Å and crystallite size 30.931 nm at annealed temperature 773K are in good agreement value as close to the values reported. Absorbance spectrum results not found pronounced peak at temperature under 773 K.
