Effect of Al doping and deposition runs on structural and optical properties of In2S3 thin films grown by CBD

β-In 2− x Al x S 3 thin films have been grown on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition for different value of Al concentration y  = (([Al])/([In])) sol (0 ≤  y  ≤ 5 at.%). Samples have been characterized using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and by spectrophotometric measurements. T...

Description
Summary:β-In 2− x Al x S 3 thin films have been grown on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition for different value of Al concentration y  = (([Al])/([In])) sol (0 ≤  y  ≤ 5 at.%). Samples have been characterized using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and by spectrophotometric measurements. The influence of the increase of y ratio in the structural and optical properties are described and discussed in terms of crystallinity improvement. In order to increase film thickness of β-In 2− x Al x S 3 , we have been realized multi-deposition system. The structural, the surface morphology as well as the optical properties seem to be improved as the film thickness is of about 1200 nm.
