In order to improve the large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in Mn<sub>3</sub>Sn thin films, we eliminated the co-existing Mn<sub>2</sub>Sn phase in the films by changing the composition; 50 nm thick polycrystalline Mn<sub>3+<italic>x</italic></sub>Sn thin films were fabricated on Si/SiO<sub>2</sub> substrates by the sputtering method followed by a thermal annealing process in vacuum. The film compositions were Mn<sub>70</sub>Sn<sub>30</sub>(sample-A), Mn<sub>75</sub>Sn<sub>25</sub>(sample-B), and Mn<sub>80</sub>Sn<sub>20</sub>(sample-C) in as-deposited state and were slightly changed to be Mn<sub>75</sub>Sn<sub>25</sub>(sample-A), Mn<sub>77</sub>Sn<sub>23</sub>(sample-B), and Mn<sub>78</sub>Sn<sub>22</sub>(sample-C), respectively, after the annealing at 500 °C. From a structural analysis by X-ray diffractometry, the sample-C was considered to crystallize to Mn<sub>3</sub>Sn phase without passing the crystallization of Mn<sub>2</sub>Sn phase at 300 °C, differently from the sample-A. The saturation magnetization, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$M_{\mathrm {S}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, of the sample-A significantly increased below 250 K, corresponding with the Curie temperature of Mn<sub>2</sub>Sn. On the other hand, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$M_{\mathrm {S}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> did not show significant changes with cooling temperature in the samples-B and -C. An AHE was observed at the room temperature in all the samples. The anomalous Hall conductivity, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sigma _{\mathrm {AH}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, at the room temperature increased in magnitude, as the content of Mn increased. The sign of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sigma _{\mathrm {AH}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> changed from negative to positive in the sample-A with cooling temperature. On the other hand, the sign remained negative in the sample-C. These differences might be due to the elimination of co-existing Mn<sub>2</sub>Sn phase in the Mn<sub>3</sub>Sn thin films with enlarging the Mn content from the stoichiometry. Consequently, we successfully improved the large AHE in polycrystalline antiferromagnetic Mn<sub>3</sub>Sn thin films.
