Characterization of MnS Thin Films Deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition

Abstract:

Glass substrates are used to deposit thin films utilizing basic and value effective chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. The films were prepared from the mixture as solutions of manganous acetate tetrahydrate [C₄H₆MnO₄4H₂O] as a manganese source, thiourea [(H₂ N) ₂ CS] as a sulfur source and triethanolamine (TEA) [(HOC₂H₄)₃N] as a complexing agent.In the present paper the deposition was successfully done at 60 °C temperature. The absorption properties and band gap energy were determined employing double beam spectrophotometer. The optical band gap value calculated from absorption spectra of MnS thin film is found to be about 3.1eV.The MnS thin film was structurally characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The MnS thin film was morphologically characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis was performed using EDS to confirm the formation of MnS.
