Abstract
In this paper, Sb2Se3 thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at different deposition pressures. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the Sb2Se3 films were investigated by XRD, Raman, XPS, SEM, Hall Effect and UV-Vis measurements. With optimized deposition pressure of 0.5 Pa, the fabricated Sb 2Se3 film has the highest crystallinity, the most stable valence of Se2- and Sb3+, the maximum mobility (21.54 cm2 V-1 s-1) and the suitable optical band gap (1.33 eV). This study provides a guideline to prepare Sb2Se3 film for photovoltaics.
