The amorphous Ge20Sb15Se65 thin film was prepared by magnetron sputtering deposition technique. Effect of heat treatment temperature in the range of 150—400 ℃ on the optical properties of Ge20Sb15Se65 thin films has been investigated. The microstructure and optical properties of the films were characterized by UV-Vis, Raman spectroscopy and XRD, the optical constant was calculated using the Swanepoel method and Tauc's law from the optical transmission spectra. Results indicate that when the annealing temperature (Ta) is lower than the glass transition temperature (Tg), the optical band gap (Egopt) increases from 1.845 to 1.932 eV, and the refractive index decreases from 2.61 to 2.54, while the optical band gap decreases from 1.932 to 1.822 eV and the refractive index increases from 2.54 to 2.71 with a further increase of Ta. The results were explained in terms of the Mott and Davis model for amorphous materials and amorphous to crystalline structural transformations. It is well consistent with the results of structure analysis by XRD and Raman spectroscopy.
