An aqueous room temperature chemical method for deposition of large ar
ea Bi2S3 thin films has been developed. Ethylene diamine tetraacetic a
cid is used as complexing agent. The film characterisations with X-ray
diffractogram, scanning electron microscopic, optical absorption, ele
ctrical resistivity and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spe
ctroscopic techniques are carried out. A reaction mechanism is propose
d for film formation in alkaline bath.
