A room temperature chemical bath deposition (CBD) method was developed to deposit (Sb0.5Bi0.5)2S3 composite thin films. The preparative parameters such as concentration of bismuth ions, concentration of antimony ions, volume ratio of bismuth and antimony, complexing agent and deposition time were optimized to get good quality (Sb0.5Bi0.5)2S3 composite thin film of terminal thickness 0.45μm. Occurrence of distinguish peaks in the diffractogram of the thin sample is suggestive of polycrystalline quality of the sample. Estimation of X-ray pattern data display that sample made up of orthorhombic crystal structure (JCPDS 17-0320, JCPDS-6-0474). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study for as-deposited films showed that Image shows a lot of rods. These rods were produced in tiny rope structure. The rods are randomly spread. EDAX pattern shows that composition of the films are Sb: 24.27 ,Bi: 29.54 and S:46.19 respectively.
