Properties of ZnS Films Deposited by Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on glass substrates. The effects of sputtering power, working pressure, substrate temperature and annealing treatment on the structural and optical properties of ZnS films were studied using X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectrometer in detailed.
