Popis: | The chemical bath deposition of wide bandgap n-type SnS 2 films and role of sulphur precursor in suppression of p-type SnS phase is described. The as-deposited films are highly polycrystalline in hexagonal crystal structure. Inclusion of oxygen in the film phase is shown by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman scattering methods which suggests the CBD films are better described as tin disulfide-oxide (SnS 2-x O x ) x=0.1. A possible mechanism of film formation is presented. Optical analysis showed energy bandgap 2.76 eV for SnS 2-x O x film which decreases to 2.62 eV with the inclusion of the secondary SnS phases. |
