Polycrystalline ingots of SnS was directly synthesized from a stoichiometric mixture of 99.999 % purity Sn and S in a vacuum-sealed quartz ampoule. Thin SnS films were deposited by hot wall technique on glass and molybdenum substrates under an ambient pressure of 5*10−6 mbar. The elemental composition of the obtained films was determined to be stoichiometric (SEM-EDX). The crystal structure and crystalline phases of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (Siemens D-5000 diffractometer with CuKα radiation). The obtained films were polycrystalline, monophase in nature and had orthorhombic crystal structure. The films on glass were highly oriented along (001) plane whereas films on molybdenum showed SnS phase with different orientation. The as-prepared films show p-type electrical conductivity confirmed by the thermoelectric probe measurement. The value of Seebeck coefficient was about 1000 and 400 µV/K for films on glass and Mo, respectively.
