Abstract
Tin disulphide semiconductors are used in various applications and specifically in solar cells. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other thin films used in the photovoltaic technology. Tin disulphide thin film has been promisingly proposed for this field application as buffer or window layer. In this work, we study the effect of deposition time on the structural, morphological and optical properties of tin disulphide thin films deposited on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis technique. The phase of SnS2 are identified using X-Ray diffraction. A single phase without impurities is observed for the elaborated samples. The optical analyses show that the filmprepared at 65 min present the highest transmittance in the visible region. The obtained results confirm that SnS2 thin films can be good candidates for solar cells devices. These results are of great importance in the prediction of the good application of SnS2 thin films in solar cells.
