Abstract(in English) Tin sulfide (SnS) films present great potential as absorber materials. MgSnO films have a wide band gap, which will be suitable as a buffer layer forming a heterojunction with SnS for photovoltaic applications. We investigated SnS/MgSnO heterojunction solar cells. After MgSnO films were prepared using sol-gel method, SnS films were deposited using thermal evaporation. The SnS/MgSnO structure showed rectifying and photovoltaic characteristics, although the SnS/SnO2 structure exhibited no rectifying characteristic. The SnS/MgSnO solar cell reached conversion efficiency of 2.1%.
