Abstract
Tin sulfide thin films were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering of a nanostructured SnS target in argon. The obtained samples were analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), radio frequency glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (RF-GD-OES) and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The thickness, roughness and surface porosity were evaluated using module software for AFM data visualization and analysis Gwyddion. A thin film growth mechanism was suggested based on the analysis of the AFM images.
