Manuscript submitted July 9, 2007; revised manuscript received October 29, 2007. Available electronically December 18, 2007. Tin monosulfide 共SnS兲 is a narrow bandgap semiconductor material that belongs to IV-VI group and acts as an absorber layer in heterojunction devices. SnS thin films grown with a thickness of 0.5 m exhibit a direct optical bandgap of ⬃1.36 eV with an absorption coefficient of ⬃105 cm−1.1 The electrical and optical properties of SnS films can be tailored by doping with the suitable dopants.2,3 SnS is a less toxic compound, and its constituent elements are abundant in nature. Besides these properties, its structure, even at liquid nitrogen temperature, is stable and, also, the variation of its optical properties with temperature is marginal.4 Because of the above peculiar properties, SnS films have been widely used in diverging fields, such as solar cells,5-7 photoconductors,8 semiconductor sensors,9 microbatteries,10 and solid-state lubricants.11 The SnS films have been prepared using different techniques, such as spray pyrolysis,12 pulse electrodeposition,13 plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition,14 epitaxial,15 thermal evaporation,16 E-beam evaporation,17 etc. Recently, nanostructured materials have attracted great attention due to their exciting properties, which are different from their corresponding micro and bulk properties. Thus, the synthesis of nanostructured materials has been an active and challenging subject in materials science and other fields.18 Moreover, the bandgaps of these nanomaterials are particle-size dependent19 and, hence, the particle size significantly influences the properties of the materials.20 In this view, only a few studies have been reported on nanocrystalline SnS material.21-26 Even though the investigations on SnS nanostructures or nanoparticles are interesting, most of the above studies are limited to only the synthesis and analysis of a few properties. To date, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no report on the electrical and optical properties of nanocrystalline SnS films. In our earlier studies, it was observed that the films grown with a low thickness 共t ⬍ 100 nm兲 exhibited some interesting properties as compared to the films grown with higher thicknesses.27 The lower thickness films exhibited slightly high absorption coefficient 共␣ ⬃ 105 cm−1兲 as compared to the films grown with other thicknesses. For comparison, the ␣ vs photon energy plots of SnS films grown at three different thicknesses are shown in Fig. 1. Here, the shaded portion represents the variation of ␣ with photon energy at above the fundamental absorption edge 共FAE兲. It can be seen that the ␣ value of thinner films is higher than that of thicker films and, also, the absorbability of thicker films is limited only for a short range of z E-mail: [email protected] photon energy. This interesting and constructive behavior of thinner SnS films attracted us to investigate nanocrystalline SnS films and study their physical properties in view of optoelectronic device applications. A variety of techniques that have been used for thin-film depositions, such as thermal evaporation, sputtering, ion implantation, chemical vapor deposition, and pulse laser deposition, can be adopted for the preparation of nanocrystalline films.28 Therefore, in this study we used the thermal evaporation technique for the deposition of SnS films. The synthesis of nanocrystalline SnS films at different growth temperatures and their physical behavior are reported and discussed here. Experimental SnS films have been deposited on Corning 7059 glass substrates with a thickness of ⬃50 ± 5 nm using the thermal evaporation technique. The depositions were carried out at different substrate temperatures 共Ts兲 varied from 20 to 300°C under a high vacuum of Figure 1. 共Color online兲 Variation of ␣ with photon energy of SnS films grown with three thicknesses. Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 155 共2兲 H130-H135 共2008兲 10−6 Torr. A SnS compound of 4N purity was evaporated from a molybdenum 共100 A兲 boat by applying a constant voltage of 30 V with a current of 65 A. For all depositions, the distance between the source and substrate was fixed as 14 cm and the rate of deposition was maintained as ⬃2 Å/s. The thickness of the film was monitored with the help of a digital thickness monitor 共model: DTM-101兲. A 1 kW radiant heater was used to heat the substrates, and a temperature controller was employed to control the substrate temperature with an accuracy of ±2°C. The as-deposited SnS films were characterized with appropriate techniques as follows. The elemental composition of the films was examined using an energy dispersive analysis of X-rays system attached with field-emission-scanning electron microscopy 关共FESEM兲, model: Hitachi S-4700兴. The structural properties have been studied using the X-ray diffraction 共XRD兲 spectra collected from the X-ray diffractometer 共model: Philips X’Pert Pro兲.

In order to study the current transport mechanism in the films, the current-voltage 共I-V兲 measurements were carried out at room temperature. They were measured under dark, using the van der Pauw method in the dc voltage range of 0.0–1.0 V. Here, the voltage was supplied and output current was measured with a high-resistance electrometer 共model: Keithley 6517 A兲. The temperature-dependent conductivity studies were also carried out in the temperature range of 20–200°C. Transmittance 共T%兲 and reflectance 共R%兲 spectra of the SnS films were recorded using the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer 共model: Bruker IFS 66 V/s兲 in the wavelength range of 350–2500 nm. Results and Discussion The SnS films grown at different substrate temperatures 共Ts兲 are smooth and pinhole free. The adherence of the films to the surface of the substrate increased with the increase of Ts. The deposited films appeared light gold in color and are highly transparent. The thickness t of the films, evaluated using gravimetric technique 共t = m/A, where m is the mass of deposited film, is the density of deposited material, and A is the area of the coated film兲, varied between 45 and 55 nm with Ts. The thickness of the films was also confirmed from FE-SEM cross-sectional measurements. Composition analysis.— The composition analysis of the asdeposited SnS films showed that the sulfur content in the films decreased from 49.7 to 40.1 atom % with the increase of Ts. This indicates that the films grown at lower substrate temperatures are sulfur rich as compared to the films grown at higher substrate temperatures. While increasing Ts, the evaluated Sn to S atomic percent ratio of the films increased from 1.01 to 1.49. The variation of Sn to S atomic percent ratio as a function of Ts is shown in Fig. 2. The rate of increase of Sn, S ratio with Ts is found to be ⬃1.7 ⫻ 10−3 /°C. This variation in elemental composition of the films with Ts is mainly attributed to the adatom mobility and/or reevaporation of evaporated sulfur atoms due to high vapor pressure of sulfur.29 At lower substrate temperatures, the adatom mobility of the evaporated atoms on the surface of the substrate is less and the rate of reevaporation from the surface is also negligible. Therefore, a maximum number of deposited sulfur atoms might react with tin atoms and results in a nearly stoichiometric SnS films. While increasing Ts, the nonstoichiometric nature of the films increased due to increase of the above factors; adatom mobility as well as reevaporation of sulfur atoms from the hot substrate made the films more sulfur deficient. Structural analysis.— The smoothened XRD spectra of SnS films deposited at three temperatures are shown in Fig. 3. The films grown at room temperature appeared to have very poor crystallinity or were nearly amorphous in nature. The crystallinity of the films increased with the increase of Ts. As usual, a bump in the XRD spectrum of the films between 15 and 40° is observed. This bump is suppressed with the increase of Ts owing to the improvement in H131 Figure 2. Sn/S atomic percent ratio vs substrate temperature of nanocrystalline SnS films. crystallinity of the films. Here, the bump is due to amorphous glass substrate. The SnS films grown at different substrate temperatures exhibited one strong peak at around 2 = 31.62°. The evaluated d-spacing value of this peak is comparable to the SnS JCPDS data 共card no. 39-0354兲. Hence, the crystallites in the films are exclusively oriented along the 关111兴 direction. These results point out that the SnS films are crystallized orthorhombically with lattice parameters of a = 0.433, b = 1.119, and c = 0.398 nm. In the present study, we could not find any other tin sulfide phases, such as SnS2 and Sn2S3, which were observed at lower substrate temperatures in our earlier studies.1 This might be attributed to the rate of evaporation of the material. The average grain size of the films, evaluated using Scherrer’s formula, increased from 18 to 41 nm with the increase of Ts, as shown in Fig. 4. Therefore, the films can be treated as nanocrystalline or nanostructured films. Noticeably, the films grown at higher substrate temperatures contained large-sized grains and their sizes are comparable to the thickness of the film. To understand the genuine crystallinity of SnS films, the XRD data were Figure 3. 共Color online兲 XRD spectra of nanocrystalline SnS films grown at three different substrate temperatures.

XRD spectrum of annealed nanocrystalline SnS films at T = 100°C for 1 h. analyzed using the X’Pert HighScore software supplied by Philips X’Pert Pro Co., Ltd., and the degree of preferred orientation 共DPO兲 of the films was calculated. In this analysis, we observed a minor peak with 7–8% of intensity at 2 = 66.64° that belongs to 共080兲 plane along with 100% 共111兲 peak. Therefore, the DPO of the films was calculated using the equation, DPO = I共111兲/I共080兲. While increasing Ts, the DPO of the films increased up to Ts = 150°C and, above this temperature, it decreased. The variation of DPO with Ts is also shown in Fig. 4. Similar behavior was observed for the SnS films grown with 0.5 m thickness with respect to substrate temperature.1 Satyanarayana et al.30 reported that the interatomic distance in the semiconductor materials increases when their particles size decreased to nanoscale. However, we could not find any change in d-spacing values of SnS films even though the grain size of the films is at nanolevel. The observed d-spacing values of SnS films are given in Table. I along with standard data of SnS material. Su et al.,21 An et al.,22,23 Li et al.,24 Shen et al.,25 and Chen et al.26 also observed similar results in SnS nanostructures. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effect of particle size on d-spacing values of SnS films may be negligible. The difference between the observed results of nanocrystalline SnS films grown at Ts = 300°C and the data reported elsewhere27 is either due to rate of deposition or annealing of the SnS films because the later films were postannealed at 100°C for 1 h under a vacuum of 10−6 Torr. For clarification of above doubt, the present films also annealed at 100°C for 1 h under a vacuum of ⬃10−5 Torr. The XRD spectrum of these annealed films is shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen that the peak height of the annealed SnS films Table I.

These results, therefore, clarify that the process of annealing of SnS films may not be a cause for the above difference. Surface topology and morphology analysis.— The surface analysis of the as-deposited films demonstrates how the top surface of the films changes with Ts. The FE-SEM images 共recorded at a tilt angle of 45°兲 of SnS films grown at Ts = 20, 150, and 300°C are shown in Fig. 6. Figure 6a shows that the crystallites on the surface of the films grown randomly and formed a meshlike network with deep holes. While increasing Ts, these deep holes disappeared and formed a continuous and uniform surface at Ts = 150°C that can be seen in Fig. 6b. With further increase of Ts, the size of the crystallites on the surface of the films increased and formed a continuous surface with a high surface roughness 共Fig. 6c兲. Therefore, the crystallites on the surface of the films are initially forming meshlike network and, while increasing Ts, the meshlike surface is slowly converting into an irregular granular surface via a smooth and uniform surface. These changes were clearly observed in AFM studies. AFM images 共recorded in the area of 500 ⫻ 500 nm兲 of SnS films grown at Ts = 20, 150, and 300°C are shown in Fig. 7. The rootmean-square 共rms兲 roughness of the films, evaluated from AFM analysis, decreased from 3.25 nm with the increase of Ts and reached a minimum value of 2.87 nm at Ts = 150°C. With further increase of Ts, the rms roughness increased and reached a maximum value of 7.9 nm at Ts = 300°C. The average grain size of the films obtained from AFM analysis is consistent with the data obtained in XRD studies. Electrical properties.— The variation of electrical resistivity of the SnS films with Ts is shown in Fig. 8. The films resistivity drastically decreased from 3.4 ⫻ 104 to 43.4 ⍀ cm with the increase of Ts. At higher substrate temperatures 共⬎150°C兲, the change in resistivity of the films with Ts appears marginal. However, the resistivity in this region also decreased linearly with Ts is shown in Fig. 8 in the inset. High resistivity of SnS films grown at Ts = 20°C is due to poor crystallinity and smaller grain size in the films. While increasing Ts, the size of the grains increased and led to low resistivity. It is interesting to note here that the resistivity of the nanocrystalline SnS films grown at Ts = 300°C is low and also comparable to the values observed in microstructured SnS films.1 This difference might be attributed to improved crystallinity of the present films as compared to the microstructured films. The activation energy Ea of nanocrys- Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 155 共2兲 H130-H135 共2008兲 Figure 6.

The activation energy increased sharply from 0.16 eV with the increase of Ts up to Ts = 150°C and above this temperature, its variation is marginal. This can be seen from Fig. 9, which represents the variation of activation energy with Ts. The films grown at Ts = 300°C showed an activation energy of ⬃0.27 eV. The sharp increase in Ea of the films is attributed either on grain size and/or Sn content in the films.

Therefore, only the T% vs wavelength spectra of SnS films recorded in the wavelength range of 350–1000 nm is shown in Fig. 10 for the films grown at three sub- H134 Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 155 共2兲 H130-H135 共2008兲 Figure 8.

The overall transmittance of the films in the lower wavelength range 共⬍1000 nm兲 decreased with the increase of Ts, which indicates the absorbability of the nanocrystalline films increases with Ts. It can also be observed that the transmittance of the films drastically decreased at below the wavelength of 1000 nm and, hence, its corresponding incident photon energy 共h兲 is treated as a FAE. The absorption coefficient ␣ of the films at above FAE was evaluated using the equation, ␣ = ln共1/T兲/t. At above FAE, the films exhibited ␣ on the order of ⬃106 cm−1. This is a noticeable point and is quite high as compared to the data observed in microfilms.1 The bandgap of SnS in few reports is classified as direct31,32 and in others as indirect.33,34 In order to determine the optical bandgap of nanocrystalline SnS films, the ␣ dependence h equation:35 ␣h = A共h − Eg − Ep兲x, where Ep is the phonon energy and Eg is the optical bandgap, was used. For direct transition 共Ep = 0兲, x = 1/2 for allowed transition and 3/2 for forbidden transition, and for Figure 9.

Figure 10. 共Color online兲 T% vs wavelength spectra of nanocrystalline SnS films grown at three substrate temperatures. indirect transition, x = 2 for allowed transition and 3 for forbidden transition. Therefore, the allowed direct and indirect optical bandgaps of SnS films were evaluated from the plots of 共␣h兲2 vs h and 共␣h兲1/2 vs h.

The variation of direct bandgap with substrate temperature is shown in Fig. 11b. Similarly, the indirect bandgap of the films was evaluated from 共␣h兲1/2 vs h plots, as shown in Fig. 12a, and its variation with Ts is shown in Fig. 12b. Figures 11b and 12b reveal that the bandgaps of SnS films initially decreased with the increase of Ts up to 150°C and with further increase of Ts, both the parameters slightly in- Figure 11. 共Color online兲 共a兲 共␣h兲2 vs photon energy and 共b兲 direct bandgap vs substrate temperature plots of nanocrystalline SnS films.

The direct 共indirect兲 bandgap of the SnS films varied in between 2.43 and 2.02 eV 共1.28 and 0.6 eV兲 with the increase of Ts and showed a minimum value of 2.02 eV 共0.6 eV兲 at Ts = 150°C. The bandgap of nanocrystalline SnS films is high as compared to the microstructured SnS films, which might be attributed to the thickness, composition, and/or crystallinity of the films. In general, a low crystalline or amorphous and thinner films exhibit higher bandgaps than the crystalline and/or thicker films.36 Therefore, the high Eg value of SnS films grown at Ts = 20°C might be due to lower crystallinity of the films and the decrease of Eg with Ts is due to improvement in the crystallinity and/or the decrease of sulfur content. However, a slight variation in bandgap of the films at higher substrate temperatures 共⬎150°C兲 may be attributed to DPO of the films. The DPO of the films decreased with Ts at above 150°C and leads the bandgap to higher values. Conclusion The SnS films were grown using the thermal evaporation technique at different substrate temperatures 共20–300°C兲, and other deposition parameters were kept as constant. The physical properties of as-deposited SnS films were studied with appropriate techniques, and the observed results are summarized as follows: The as-deposited films are highly transparent and appeared light gold in color. The adherence of the films to the surface of substrate increased with the increase of Ts. The composition analysis of the films showed that the films grown at Ts = 20°C are nearly stoichiometric. While increasing Ts, the nonstoichiometric nature in the films increased due to the loss of sulfur content in the films. The structural studies revealed that the as-deposited SnS films were nanocrystalline and crystallized orthorhombically along 关111兴 direction. The grain size of these films increased from 18 to 41 nm with the increase of Ts. The films grown at Ts = 150°C showed lower rms surface roughness than the films deposited at other substrate temperatures. The SnS films grown at Ts = 300°C showed a lower electrical resistivity of ⬃43.4 ⍀ cm than the films grown at other temperatures due to high grain size. The nanocrystalline SnS films 1. M. Devika, K.
