Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) is a non-toxic n-type semiconductor with a band gap of Eg = 1.3 eV and thus a potential candidate for thin film solar cells. We present a temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) study on the mm-scale and a laterally resolved PL study on the µm-scale and determine in both cases the opto-electronic properties of a physical vapor deposited Bi2S3 film. We find a splitting of quasi-Fermilevels (QFL) of µ = 650 meV and an optical band gap of Eopt = 1.3 eV at room temperature. Although only stoichometric Bi2S3 can be found in the film, laterally resolved maps of the PL yield, QFL-splitting and optical band gap show modulations in the local properties most likely due to different crystal orientations of the Bi2S3 grains.
