Abstract
We report investigation of structural and optical characteristics of $In_2Se_3$ thin films fabricated by thermal annealing process. Indium (In) is deposited on substrates by sputtering methods and $In_2Se_3$ thin films are fabricated by thermal annealing it with selenium vapor. The annealing temperature was changed from $150^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. We observe formation and phase changes of $In_2Se_3$ thin films with increase of annealing temperature. Conglomeration of In is observed at low annealing temperature (${\leq}150^{\circ}C$). $In_2Se_3$ phases are started to form at $200^{\circ}C$ and ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ phase form at $350^{\circ}C$. High-quality ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ thin film with wurtzite structure is obtained at $400^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature. Furthermore, we confirm that band gaps of $In_2Se_3$ thin films are increased according to increase of annealing temperature. Optical band gap of high-quality ${\gamma}-In_2Se_3$ is found to be 1.796eV.
