However, the semiconducting properties of SnS thin films still need to be improved in order to make good SnS thin film solar cells. Doping can improve the semiconducting properties of the films. W. Albers et al. [4] investigated Sb- and Ag-doped SnS single crystals and observed n-type conductivity with carrier concentration of ~10 19 cm −3 in Sb-doped SnS crystals and p-type conductivity with ~10 18 cm −3 concentration in Ag-doped SnS crystals. Devika et al. [5] investigated Ag-doped SnS films grown by thermal evaporation technique and observed that the resistivity of the SnS layers reached a minimum value of •cm at 15 atom % of Ag. But some properties of SnS:Ag thin films are unclear and waiting for further study. We ever reported the effect of anneal temperature on SnS:Ag thin films and obtained that the SnS:Ag film annealed at 260 had the best properties[6]. In this paper we investigate the influence of annealing time on the films in order to obtain SnS:Ag thin films with good photoelectric properties. Experimental SnS and Ag films were deposited on glass substrates by vacuum thermal evaporation technique successively. The thermal evaporation system is DMDE-450 deposit
