Abstract

The (SnS) thin films were prepared by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR), a versatile and simple method. The cationic and anionic solutions SnCl2.2H2O and Na2S.9H2O respectively were used as precursor materials, which will be deposited on glass substrates to study the effect of rinsing temperature on the properties of our thin films. The structural, morphological, and optical properties were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and spectrophotometer. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated that the deposited SnS thin films have an orthorhombic crystal structure. Uniform deposition of the material over the entire glass substrate was shown by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optical band gap energy ranged from 1.5 to 1.82eV for direct transitions and from 0.6 to 0.95eV for indirect transitions.
