    Abstract

    Ag-In-S thin films deposited by a single-source thermal evaporation method were annealed in H2S atmosphere from 300 to 450 °C for 60 min. after the evaporation. All the films annealed above 300 °C were obtained chalcopyrite AgInS2 crystal phase. The composition ratios of Ag, In and S atoms become close to stoichiometry with increasing the annealing temperature. The grain size of the AgInS2 crystal in the films annealed at 400 °C are approximately 1.5∼4 μm.
