In this work, ZnS:Mn thin films were deposited on quartz, Si (polycrstal), and glass substrates using a CBD<br />

method in an aqueous solution containing ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid disodium salt (Na2EDTA) as the<br />

complexing agent for zinc ions and TAA as the sulfide source at different temperatures. ZnS: Mn thin films<br />

with thicknesses ranging from 60 to 450 nm were synthesized at various Mn2+/Zn2+ molar ratios ranging<br />

from 1 to 4. The effects <strong>of</strong> the process parameters on the properties <strong>of</strong> ZnS:Mn films were investigated. The<br />

films were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), inductively coupled plasma atomic<br />

emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD),<br />

high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy<br />

(FE-SEM), ultra violet –visible light (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.<br />

3 – Conclusion<br />

The results showed that the deposition time, deposition temperature, and Mn doping concentration can affect<br />

the composition, surface morphology, crystallinity, thickness, grain size, and hence the photoluminescence<br />

and transmission spectra <strong>of</strong> the films. The SIMS and Photoluminescence studies revealed the presence <strong>of</strong> two<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> Mn in ZnS:Mn films that exhibit their own characteristic emissions.<br />
