Influence of Deposition Time on the Microstructure and Transport Properties of CdO Thin Films Prepared by Chemical Bath Deposition

Abstract: Transparent thin films of CdO has been deposited on to glass substrates employing chemical bath deposition. The prepared films are reproducible, adherent to the substrate, pinhole free and uniform. Amongst the different process parameters, the deposition time plays a significant role in obtaining device quality transparent CdO thin films. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that the thin films are polycrystalline in nature with cubic phase with a cell constant of a = 4.638 Å. The surface morpholog… Show more

“…Annealing leads to sharp absorption edge because the films becomes more crystalline and the grain size increase with increase annealing temperature. These values are in good agreement with the values reported by others [25,26]. Figure 5 show the decrease in energy gap with increasing annealing temperature.…”

“…The thickness of the deposited layers may be readily controlled by variation of the deposition time making the process suitable for large area processing at low fabrication cost. Although CBD has been widely used by many researchers to deposit thin films of CdO, primarily cadmium chloride [19,20,22,23] and cadmium sulfate [24,25] have been used as a source of cations. This always introduces the possibility of chlorine and sulfur incorporation into the films.…”

“…The diffracted peaks at (100), (111), (200), (220), (222) and (311) are directly matched from CdO indices (JCPDS No. 05-0640) 3133 . Crystalline and face-centred cubic structure are found from this observation.…”
