A seed layer-assisted chemical bath deposition (SCBD) method at low temperature has been developed to growth uniform and high crystal quality cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles on transparent conductive/glass substrates. These films were grown on indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) as seed layer which deposited on glass substrates using magnetron sputtering-RF . The ITO seed annealing process by continuous beam (CW) of CO2 laser was used prior to growing the Cu2O nanoparticles. In this study, controlled synthesis of Cu2O films were investigated by controlling the growth temperature at 55, 60, 65, and 70 oC, respectively. The products of films were characterized in detail by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Optical properties of this Cu2O nanoparticles were examined UV-Vis spectroscopy. The study suggests synthesis route for developing high quality Cu2O nanoparticles using SCBD method for optical and electronic applications.
