Microstructure and Raman Scattering of CdS Films Obtained with Chemical Deposition Method
Abstract
The crystallographic structure, elemental composition, and surface morphology of the cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films chemically deposited at Т = 62 ± 1 о С on glass substrates from aqueous solution consisting of NH4OH (25 %), 0.0096M CdSO4, and 0.8M CS(NH2)2 have been studied. The characteristics of these films have been obtained by the scanning electron microscopy, studies of the phase and elemental composition, as well as Raman spectra. It is shown that the selected solution’s composition and deposition modes allow to synthesize CdS films with stoichiometric composition, consisting of nanocrystals of hexagonal modification suitable for solar cells applications.
