Characterization of Silver doped In2S3 films

2020 
Silver doped Indium sulphide thin films with different [Ag/In] molar ratio concentrations (0, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1) were deposited on glass substrates using chemical bath deposition method. The structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties are characterized using XRD, EDAX, SEM, AFM, spectrophotometer and Hall measurement system, respectively. Kramers-Kronig method was used to obtain optical constants of the films. It is found that Ag can change physical properties of Indium sulfide thin films, depending on the Ag concentration. XRD results show the incorporation of Ag concentration did not change the structure of In2 S3 . Doped films had rough surfaces. As the [Ag/In] molar ratio increased, conductivity increases and optical direct band gap energy decreases from 2.75 to 2.38 eV.
