Low-cost thin film oxide/oxide heterojunctionsbased photovoltaic solar cellsare one of the alternatives to silicon cells, among potential devices based on semiconductor oxides.Cuprous oxide is a material for fabrication low cost cells terrestrial application. In this article, firstly, we reviewed cuprous Crystal structure, Band different properties such as electrical and transport andphotoluminescence.Then discuss in detail synthesis techniques production copper Thermal Oxidation, Anodic Electrodeposition, Sputtering, Chemical vapor deposition etc. Latter detailed survey previous work so far carried out Cu 2 O presented.Thefabrication cellperformance Solar Cells also discussed.
