Consequence of variation in Indium concentration in chlorine doped In2S{sub 3} thin films deposited by spray pyrolysis technique was studied. Chlorine was incorporated in the spray solution, using HCl and Indium concentration was varied by adjusting In/S ratio Interestingly, the photo response of all chlorine doped samples augmented compared to pristine samples; but the highest photosensitivity value of ∼2300 was obtained only when 36ml 0.5M HCl was added to the solution of In{sub 2}S{sub 3} having In/S=2/8. It was also observed that samples with high photosensitivity possess higher band gap and variation in sub band gap absoption levels were observed with increase in Indium concentration. The present study proved that concentration of Indium plays an important role in controlling the crystallinity and photosensitivity of chlorine doped samples.
