ABSTRACT = {Using the thermal evaporation method, thin crystalline films of Sb<sub>2</sub>(S<sub>x</sub>Se<sub>1-x</sub>)<sub>3</sub> are produced 
at the substrate temperature of 300℃. The mixed powders of the Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> and Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> is used 
as a source material. The influence of the S/Se component ratio on the morphology and 
structural characteristics of Sb<sub>2</sub>(S<sub>x</sub>Se<sub>1-x</sub>)<sub>3</sub> thin films is investigated. As demonstrated by the 
results of X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, the formed films of Sb<sub>2</sub>(S<sub>x</sub>Se<sub>1-x</sub>)<sub>3</sub> have a 
components ratio close to the stoichiometry. Besides, Morphological and structural analyses 
reveal significant differences in the surface morphology of Sb<sub>2</sub>(S<sub>x</sub>Se<sub>1-x</sub>)<sub>3</sub> thin film absorbers, 
indicating that the properties of the films vary as a function of the S/Se composition ratio.},
