(ZnO-CuO) 1-x :Fe x (x=6,8 and 10%) the thin films (for the same percentage of ZnO-CuO) were deposited on a glass substrate at 300 °C by Chemical Spray Pyrolysis(CSP) technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that the increasing of Fe leads to decrease the crystalline size. Energy gap values of the doped thin films are larger than undoped thin films. These values are increase with increase of weight ratio doping. The range of energy gap values was within the range (2.6-3.15) eV. The morphological surfaces properties have been studied using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) which reveals a homogeneous flowers structure of the films.
