Abstract

Indium sulfide thin films were grown onto flexible PET-substrates by chemical bath deposition. Indium trichloride and thioacetamide were used as precursor solutions of indium and sulfur, respectively. Growth temperatures were 60°C, 70°C, 80°C and 90°C. The optical measurements showed films had a maximum transmittance of 85% in the visible region. Energy bandgap varied in the range 2.32-2.83 eV. Structural properties were analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Raman Spectroscopy, which indicates that In2S3 thin films grown on flexible PET-substrates have tetragonal phase.
