Cadmium oxide thin films was deposited by thermal oxidation method, on glass substrate with the thickness (300 ∓ 10)nm and deposition rate (1.25)nm/sec. The films doped with the (In) with the different ratios(l,2,3)%. The topographic and morphology structures of films are characterized by(XRD), (SEM) and (AFM) techniques. XRD investigation showed all films have polycrystalline structures with the preferred orientation (111) plane. The results of microscopic testing proved that presence the nanostructures and all the films were homogeneous and smooth, with a characteristic nano grain size, by scanning electron microscope (SEM), which show that fact formation of all nanostructures with different shapes and grain size. In addition, the results of atomic force microscope (AFM) show that presence nanostructures and there is effect of In-dopant on the root mean square (RMS) roughness of the films, where it increases while the grain size decreases with the increasing of In-dopant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
