The present work deals with the preparation and characterization of cadmium sulfur (CdS) thin films. These films are prepared by chemical bath deposition on the well cleaned glass substrates. The thickness of the samples was measured by using profilometer DEKTAK, structural and optical properties were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The optical properties of the films have been investigated as a function of temperature. The band gap energy and Urbach energy were also investigated as a function of temperature. From the transmittance data analysis the direct band gap ranges from 2.21 eV to 2.34 eV. A dependence of band gap on temperature has been observed and the possible raisons are discussed. Transmission spectra indicates a high transmission coefficient (75 %). Structural analysis revealed that the films showed cubic structure, and the crystallite size decreased at a higher deposition temperature.

CdS thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD) at different ammonia concentration and different temperature using cadmium chloride hydrate, thiourea, ammonium chloride, ammonia and deionized water as precursors. The morphology structure and the optical properties of CdS thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), ultraviolet-visible spectra and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The results indicated that CdS thin film could be grown when ammonia concentration at the range of 0.4-1.0 mol /L and in the temperature range of 50 °C -80 °C. Within 600-980 nm wavelength，the average value of the refractive index was found to be 1.70 and the extinction coefficient was less than 0.08.

ABSTRACTWe prepared CdS thin films from a solution containing cadmium acetate, thiourea, ammonia, and ammonium acetate. We varied fabrication conditions such as the concentrations of reactants, reaction temperature, and heat treatment, to investigate the changes in structural and optical properties of the film. Effects of substrate on the properties were also investigated.
