The Development of Crystalline Sb₂S₃ Thin Films as A Component of The Three-Dimensional (3D) Solar Cells

Abstract. The paper present the research made in order to develop crystalline Sb₂S₃ thin films by Spray Pyrolysis Deposition technique, SPD. The films were developed by varying the deposition parameters: the deposition temperature, the number of sequences and the type of solvents (water and mixed: water-ethanol). The obtained films were analyzed by XRD, AFM, UV-VIS Spectroscopy and current-voltages (I-V) measurements in dark and under illumination. The results prove the formation of crystalline Sb₂S₃ thin films with proper electrical properties to be used as buffer layer and/ or as absorber material in the 3D cells.
