Abstract

Using the thermal evaporation method, thin crystalline films of Sb2(Sx Se1-x)3 are produced at the substrate temperature of 300℃. The mixed powders of the Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 is used as a source material. The influence of the S/Se component ratio on the morphology and structural characteristics of Sb2(SxSe1-x)3 thin films is investigated. As demonstrated by the results of X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, the formed films of Sb2(SxSe1-x)3 have a components ratio close to the stoichiometry. Besides, Morphological and structural analyses reveal significant differences in the surface morphology of Sb2(SxSe1-x)3 thin film absorbers, indicating that the properties of the films vary as a function of the S/Se composition ratio.
