摘要
Post-deposition vacuum annealing of chemically deposited Bi2S3 thin films has been found to enhance the dark conductivity of the films from congruent-to 10(-7) OMEGA-1 cm-1 to congruent-to 10(2) OMEGA-1 cm-1 and the photoconductivity from approximately 10(-5) OMEGA-1 cm-1 to congruent-to 10(2) OMEGA-1 cm-1. Such increase is attributed to (i) an amorphous-to-crystalline transformation of the films setting in at congruent-to 175-degrees-C, confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies and (ii) loss of sulphur from the film during vacuum annealing at temperatures > 200-degrees-C, confirmed by the absence of this effect in air/nitrogen annealing. In the case of annealing in air, the competing effect of mobility enhancement by amorphous-crystalline transformation and mobility depreciation by oxygen chemisorption at the intergrain region is seen to contribute to a dark conductivity and photoconductivity maxima at an annealing temperature of congruent-to 200-degrees-C.
