CuBiSe 2 (CBSe) thin film was prepared by vacuum evaporation. The deposited film was characterized by X‐ray diffraction ( XRD) , scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) , atomic force microscopy ( AFM) , energy dispersive X‐ray ( EDX) , UV –visible specroscopy, and I–V analysis. XRD analysis indicates the formation of cubic CBSe thin film, and the corresponding EDX spectrum confirms the stoichiometry composition of CBSe . In the AFM images, the majority of the particles are granular, and the surface roughness is 8.86 nm. The optical absorption coefficient is >10 4 in the visible region and the bandgap energy is calculated to be 1.84  eV . The photosensitivity of the film is 181%.
