Abstract

Indium sulfide thin films were prepared by radio-frequency sputtering. The as-prepared films are amorphous independent of the sputtering power and growth times. The subsequent annealing effect on the crystallinity, optical properties, and photoelectric conversion properties was investigated. The annealed films are β-In2S3, and their indirect optical band gaps are from 2.04 to 2.20 eV as the annealing temperature increases from 300 °C to 500 °C. The photovoltaic conversion of the In2S3/Si heterostructure is also demonstrated..
