Influence of minor oxidation of the precursor powders to form nanocrystalline CdTe by mechanical alloying

Substrate temperature dependent structural, optical, morphology and electrical properties of RF sputtered CdTe thin films for solar cell application

“…Figure 3 shows Raman spectra of CdTe films deposited at different substrate temperatures by using RF sputtering method. As seen from the figure, the Raman spectra show only one major Raman peaks centered *162.79 cm -1 corresponding to fundamental longitudinal optic (1 LO) phonon modes of CdTe [28,29]. This further confirms the formation of CdTe films by RF sputtering method.…”

Study of structural and optical properties of sprayed WO3 thin films using enhanced characterization techniques along with the Boubaker Polynomials Expansion Scheme (BPES)

“…In the same line, the deposited films showed a relatively high absorption coefficient of around 10 4 cm −1 and exhibited a direct transition gap which lies within 2.6-3.6 eV domain. It has been found that these materials were n-type and electrical measurements are in progress in order to reach the resistivity of such thin films [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. This result is very encouraging since a costless and simple spray pyrolysis technique can be used to prepare such oxides and open the way of possible valorisation of the prepared films in many optoelectronic applications.…”

Effect of film thickness on microstructure parameters and optical constants of CdTe thin films

“…Shaaban). on structure, optical and electrical properties of CdTe thin films [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. However, still it requires further investigation to optimize the optical and electrical properties of CdTe films to use as a suitable candidate for solar cell applications.…”
