Abstract:
Due to its many uses in optoelectronic devices, cadmium sulfide is one of the most interesting semiconducting materials. With the chemical formula CdS, it is a binary compound. It is a semiconductor compound in the II–VI range with a 2.4 eV intermediate energy band gap. Its high sensitivity to light and high absorption coefficient make it useful in the field of renewable energy conversion. Among the many uses for CdS thin films, one is as a window layer in second-generation solar cells, where it produces photon traps and thus quantum efficiency. In this work, the physical vapor deposition technique is used to fabricate CdS thin films on glass substrates, and the electrical and optical properties of the prepared films were investigated. The resistivity of CdS thin film was found to be 36.881 Ω.cm. TCR of the film was observed -0.001948 /°C. The prepared films also exhibits good optical properties.
