In potentiostatic deposition, the effect of deposition potential, annealing temperature,deposition time, bath temperature and bath concentration were studied. Comparison was done based on the results obtained from photoelectrochemical test (PEC) and Xray diffraction (XRD). It was found that tin seleno telluride thin film which was deposited for 40 minutes at -0.40 V in a deposition bath containing 0.010 M Sn-EDTA,0.010 M Na2SeO3 and 0.005 M TeO2 at room temperature exhibited the highest photocurrent and has the good crystallinity. It was also observed that the tin seleno telluride thin film was produced when the sample was annealed at 250 °C. Pulse electrodeposition was carried out for 40 minutes at a potential of -0.40 V vs Ag/AgCl in a solution containing 0.010 M Sn-EDTA, 0.010 M Na2SeO3 and 0.005 M TeO2. The sample was annealed at 250 oC for 30 minutes. The effect of varying duty cycle was studied. PEC and XRD results showed that tin seleno telluride deposited at 50% duty cycle produced a thin film with high crystallinity and good photoresponse.
