摘要
Selenium thin films (350 nm) deposited from a 0.01 M solution of Na2SeSO3 Of pH 4.5 maintained at 10 degrees C for 13 h, have been used as a source of selenium vapour for reaction with vacuum deposited Ag thin film on chemically deposited Sb2S3+Ag layers. When a stack of Sb2S3+Ag is heated in contact with Se film, AgSbSe2 is formed through solid state reaction of Sb2S3 and Ag2Se. The latter is formed at 80 degrees C through the reaction of Ag-film in Se-vapour. This thin film is photoconductive and p-type. The optical band gap is nearly 1 eV and dark conductivity, 10(-3) Omega(-1)cm(-1). This thin film has been incorporated to form a photovoltaic structure, SnO2:F-(n)CdS:In-(1)Sb2S3-(p)AgSbSe2-silver print. V-oc> 400 mV and J(sc)> 12 mA/cm(2) have been observed in this under an illumination intensity of 1 kWm(-2).
