Abstract

We present the growth of In ₂ S ₃ onto Cu ₃ BiS ₃ layers and soda-lime glass (SLG) substrates by using chemical bath deposition (CBD) and physical co-evaporation. The results reveal that the microstructure and the optical properties of the In ₂ S ₃ films are highly dependent on the growth method. X-ray diffractrograms show that In ₂ S ₃ films have a higher crystallinity when growing by co-evaporation than by CBD. In ₂ S ₃ thin films grown by CBD with a thickness below 170 nm have an amorphous structure however when increasing the thickness the films exhibit two diffraction peaks associated to the (1 0 3) and (1 0 7) planes of the β-In ₂ S ₃ tetragonal structure. It was also found that the In ₂ S ₃ films present an energy bandgap (E _g ) of about 2.75 eV, regardless of the thickness of the samples.
