The first single source deposition of tin sulfide coatings on glass: aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition using [Sn(SCH2CH2S)2]

Abstract
Aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition of SnS has been achieved on glass substrates from the single source precursor [Sn(SCH2CH2S)2] at 400–550 °C. In the presence of H2S the precursor produces films of SnS2 at 350 °C, Sn2S3 at 400 °C and SnS at 500 °C. The tin sulfides were analysed by Raman (SnS2 312 and 215 cm−1; Sn2S3 307, 251, 234, 183, 87, 71, 60, 52 and 36 cm−1 and SnS 288, 220, 189, 163 and 96 cm−1), EDAX, SEM and band gap measurements (SnS 1.15 eV, SnS2 2.20 eV). Growth rates were of the order of 15 nm min−1.
