Abstract:
SnS and Ag films were deposited on glass Substrates by vacuum thermal evaporation successively, then the), were annealed in N2 ambience at a temperature of 300 degrees C for 2h. By controlling the Ag evaporation voltage to roughly alter content of Ag in SnS films, different Ag-doped SnS films were obtained. The microstructures, composition and properties of the films were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and some other methods. With the increase of Ag evaporation Voltage (V-Ag), there exist new phases of A(g8)SnS(6) and Ag2S, whose intensity of diffraction peaks increases with the increasing Ag-dopant, and the average roughness of the films varies from 18.7nm to 23.6nm, and grain size increases from 192nm to 348nm. With the increase Of V-Ag the evaluated direct band gap Eg of the films decreases from 2.28eV(undoped) to 2.05eV (V-Ag=70V), the carrier concentration value and Hall mobility of the films diminishes from 2.048x10(14)cm(-3) and 25.96 cm(2).v(-2).s(-1) to 1.035x10(16) cm(-3) and 5.66 cm(2).v(-2).s(-1), respectively; while the resistivity of the films decreases sharply from 1174 Omega.cm(undoped) to 107 Omega.cm (V-Ag=70V). All the films are of p-type conductivity. The above results show that the semiconducting properties of the SnS films have been improved by silver-doping.
