Tin Sulfide (SnS) Sputtering Targets

Tin sulfide (SnS) is a semiconductor material with an orthorhombic crystal structure. It possesses a direct bandgap and exhibits good optical absorption properties, making it an attractive candidate for photovoltaic applications. Thin films of SnS can be prepared using sputtering techniques, enabling the deposition of uniform and stoichiometric layers. These sputtered SnS films have been extensively investigated for their potential use in thin-film solar cells as an alternative absorber material to traditional semiconductors like silicon and cadmium telluride (CdTe). The direct bandgap of SnS allows for efficient light absorption, while its earth-abundant and non-toxic nature makes it an environmentally friendly option. Sputtering provides precise control over the composition and thickness of SnS films, which is crucial for optimizing the performance of solar cells. The ability to deposit high-quality SnS films by sputtering has opened up new avenues for the development of sustainable and cost-effective photovoltaic technologies.
