In the present work the thin films of CuInSe2 were grown by electrodeposition technique on highly conducting tin oxide (Fluorine doped) sprayed over glass substrate and stainless steel substrate. CuInSe2 thin films were deposited on various substrates using an aqueous bath containing Copper chloride, Indium chloride and selenium dioxide in appropriate ratio and pH of the bath was kept at 1.50 using few drops of Hydrochloric acid. To get the structural information, CuInSe2 thin films were undergo X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Morphological and compositional investigations were done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) attached EDAX. The result obtained revealed that films grown are highly adhesive to respective substrates and are of good quality. SEM micrograph shows that the grown particles are shaped as a nanoflakes when grown on FTO. The surface of the flakes distributed to a length of microns range but the width of a flake has a nano range. However for CuInSe2 thin films grown on steel substrate, the morphology is drastically changed, the particles in this case are oval shaped with near stoichiometric atomic % ratio. It was found that CuInSe2 thin films grown on stainless steel were p- type where as those grown on FTO were n-type in nature
