Optical and Electrical Properties of Spray Deposited Cdo Thin Films: Effect of Substrate Temperature

M. A. Barote

Abstract :

The present paper reports on the study of the influence of deposition temperature on optical and electrical properties of the CdO thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. These films were characterized for the structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties by means of X–ray diffraction (XRD), optical and electrical resistivity. As deposited CdO films are polycrystalline with (111) preferential orientation. The optical band gap value decreased from 2.46 to 2.38 eV with increasing the substrate temperatures. The electrical conductivity of the films was found to increase with increase in substrate temperature. The high conductivity of 6.17 × 103 (Ω–cm)–1 and high transparency (80%) was obtained for the film grown at 350 0C
