Fabrication and characterization of SnS films deposited on different substrates by modified versition of PECVD

Summary form only given. Although the fabrication of SnS films by PECVD have been reported by many researchers, there is, however, no report is available on preparation of SnS films from solid source materials using PECVD. In the present work, the SnS films were separately deposited on substrates of soda-lime glass microscope slides, FTO coated glass slides and (100)-oriented, p-type silicon slices from cost-effective and low-toxicity source materials (SnCl2·2H2O and Na2S2O3·5H2O) by novel modified version of PECVD technique. The as-growth films with grey colour were strongly adherent to substrate.
