Nanocrystalline thin films of cadmium sulphide were prepared by chemical bath deposition technique onto glass substrate at 60 °C. The deposition parameters were optimized to obtain good quality of nanocrystalline thin films such as, time, precursor concentration, temperature of deposition and pH of the solution. The studies on crystal structure, composition, surface morphology, electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of the films were carried out by using different analytical technique. Characterization includes X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), Electrical and photoconductivity. The response and recovery time of the thin film were measured and presented.
Nanocrystalline CdS thin films were successfully prepared using simple chemical bath deposition technique. Cadmium sulphate, thiourea and deionised water were used as starting precursor solution. The prepared thin films were characterized using X-ray diffractogram (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), elemental composition using energy dispersive spectrophotometer (EDAX) and optical band gap (UV-Spectroscopy).X-ray diffractogram reveals that present of cubic and hexagonal phase. The thickness, crystallite size and grain size were observed to be increase with increase operating temperature of bath while optical band gap energy slightly decreases. Effect of deposition temperature on physical, structural, microstructural, electrical and optical properties of these films was studied and presented in the present investigation. Prepared thin films shows good response towards photoconducting in presence and absent of light.
