%X As a thin film solar cell absorber material, antimony selenide (Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub>) has become a potential candidate recently because of its unique optical and electrical properties and easy fabrication method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to determine the stoichiometry and composition of electroless Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> thin films using depth profile studies. The surface layers were analyzed nearly stoichiometric. But the abundant amount of antimony makes the inner layer electrically more conductive.
