Abstract
The effect of film thickness on the structure and optical properties of thermally evaporated
SnS film has been studied. SnS films with different thicknesses in the range 152–585nm
were deposited onto clean glass substrates at room temperature. X-ray diffraction study
revealed that SnS films of thickness≥ 283nm are crystalline, whereas films of lower
thickness exhibit poor crystalline with more amorphous background. The crystalline nature
of the lower film thickness has been confirmed using transmission electron microscope
