Abstract

Preliminary studies on the properties of undoped and Ti-doped In2S3 thin films grown on soda lime glass by chemical solution deposition under different conditions are presented. Different physical, chemical and morphological properties of the films have been analysed. At the beginning of the deposition of In2S3 films, In2O3 and In(OH)3 deposited by electroless-chemical reaction are dominant. The optical properties observed for Ti-In2S3 films show the partial contribution of the electronic transitions. The study is completed with SEM analysis which shows the influence of the deposition time and the precursor used, in the morphology for incorporation of titanium at the beginning of deposition and X-ray diffraction when is observed the amorphous nature of the films.
