Influence of processing parameters on the structural and optical properties of chemically deposited zinc sulphide thin films

Zinc sulphide is a remarkable semiconductor material, with its highly demanded optical, electrical properties and its availability, it is used in the field of photovoltaic applications. The objectives are to investigate the effect of vacuum pressure on the glass substrate and the study different cluster models based on its crystal size. The ZnS thin films were fabricated using a thermal evaporator at the pressure of 10-5 Torr, 10-6 Torr, and 10-7 Torr. Four different size cluster models have been characterized theoretically. Each model was built based on the size of crystal structures, optimized to the lowest energy level, and evaluated as realistic clusters. The structural and optical properties of the thin films were studied using X-ray diffractometry, absorption, and photoluminescence spectroscopy respectively. Significant differences were observed in the crystal structure and optical properties of fabricated MoS2 thin films at different pressures.

Sno2 Thin Films

Tin Oxide and Indium doped Tin Oxide (SnO2:In) thin films were deposited on glass and SiliconÂ substratesÂ byÂ thermal evaporation technique.Â X-ray diffraction pattern of Â pure SnO2 and SnO2:In thin films annealed at 650oC and the results showedÂ that the structure have tetragonal phase with preferred orientation in (110) plane. AFM studies showed an inhibition of grain growth with increase in indium concentration. SEM studies of pureÂ SnO2 and Â Indium doped tin oxide (SnO2:In) ) thin films showed that the films with regular distribution of particles and they have spherical shape.Â Optical properties such asÂ Transmission , optical band-gap have been measured and calculated.
