Abstract

AgInS₂ thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis of an alcoholic solution of silver acetate, indium chloride and thiourea. The samples were grown at substrate temperatures of 375 and 400°C from a spray solution in which the silver to indium molar ratio ([Ag]/[In]) was varied in the range 0.5-1.625. The AgInS₂ chalcopyrite phase and its orthorhombic modification were found to be predominant ones in the films grown from solutions with [Ag]/[In] = 0.87-1.6 and 0.87, respectively. The Ag₂S, In₂S₃ and AgIn₅S₈ secondary phases were found to present in sprayed films. Estimated optical gap energies were 1. 88 and 2.03 eV for chalcopyrite AgInS₂ and 1.98 eV for orthorhombic AgInS₂. All deposited films exhibited n-type conduction and a room temperature resistivity in the range 10³-10⁶ Ω m.
