In this study, copper sulphide (CuS) thin layers are deposited on glass and ITO substrates by chemical bath deposition technique. The FESEM images indicated the effect of substrate on morphology and variation of nano-grain sizes so that their average sizes are changed from 80 to 150 nm, respectively. The structural characterization using XRD spectra showed an amorphous structure in both samples. Analysis of optical properties revealed that the optical band gaps of the layers are changed from about 2.11 to 2.01 eV, as a result of quantum confined effect, respectively.
