Chemical bath deposition of ZnS thin films (CBD) in zinc acetate-thioacetamide (TAA) aqueous solutions has been studied in the temperature range between 50 and 90 °C. The rate of film growth is compared to that of homogeneous precipitation of ZnS. The film growth was found to proceed by accumulation of ZnS nanocrystallites (4 nm) formed in the solution according to a cluster-by-cluster mechanism. The rate of the precipitation reaction in the present system has been phenomenologically well described by the rate equation, dPt/dt = k[Zn(II)]n[TAA]n, where Pt is the concentration of ZnS precipitate at time t, k is the temperature-activated reaction rate constant, and n is the apparent reaction order, which was determined as 0.64. The same rate equation was successfully applied to the film growth based on the assumption that the rate of the film growth is proportional to that of the precipitation, i.e., Ft = mPt, where Ft is the film thickness at time t and m is a proportionality factor. This result shows that...
