Study the Effect of heat treatment on AgInTe2 the optical properties thin films
Main Article Content
Abstract
AgInTe2 (AIT) thin films had been prepared by the used technique of vacuum thermal evaporation, with thickness 300 nm, the deposition rate 1.7 ±0.1 nm/sec on a glass substrate at room temperature and pressure (10-5) mbar Heat treatment was performed in the range (473-673) K for samples. The AIT thin films optical properties (absorption coefficient, index of refractive, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary dielectric constant) were studied by determination using measurement absorption and transmission spectra. The results showed they are wide applications such as photovoltaic electronic applications and photovoltaic applications.
