Abstract

Due to the cadmium toxicity, a new research line has surged up on the past years, solar cells cadmium free, and so, the request of materials with similar properties than CdS in order to replace it as buffer and window layer on solar cells. In this way, In 2 S 3 has shown adequate physical properties to be applied on solar cells. In this work, In 2 S 3 thin films were deposited by chemical bath deposition, the samples were thermally treated under different atmospheres. In 2 S 3 thermally treated on air presented the best conditions to be applied on CdTe solar cells.
