Several single-source precursors including In(SOCNiBu2)3, In(S2CNMeHex)3 and Ga(S2CNMeR)3, (R = Et, Bu, Hex) have been prepared and used for the deposition of Group 13 metal sulfide thin films. The α and β-In2S3thin films on borosilicate glass and oc-Ga 2S3thin films on GaAs(111) single crystal substrates were prepared from the precursors by various chemical vapour deposition (CVD) techniques. These semicondcuting materials have been characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS and EDAX.
