The crystal structure of annealed beta-In2S3 thin films with different thickness was investigated by X-ray diffraction technique. Lattice parameters, crystallite size and microstrain were calculated. It was found that the lattice parameters are independent on film thickness, while annealing temperatures increase them. Crystallite sizes were increased with the increase of the film thickness and improved by annealing temperatures. In all cases, the microstrains were decreased gradually with the increase in both film thickness and annealing temperatures. Optical properties of beta-In2S3 thin films were performed in the spectral range from 400 to 2500 nm to determine the optical constants (n and k), the high frequency dielectric constant, epsilon(infinity), the lattice dielectric constant, epsilon(L), and the energy gap. The optical constants were found to be independent on film thickness in the range from 200 to 630 nin. The high frequency dielectric and lattice dielectric constants of the as-deposited film increased by annealing temperatures. The energy gap for the as-deposited In2S3 was found to be 2.60 eV and increased to 2.70 and 2.75 eV by annealing at 423 and 473 K for 1 h, respectively. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
