Studying the Effect of Deposition Time on Optical Properties of CdS Thin Films

Abstract

We have studied in this work the effect of deposition time on the absorption spectra and the optical energy gap of CdS thin film. That prepared by chemical bath deposition method (CBD) on glass substrate at temperature of (80 ± 5)°C. The structural features were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) is wurtzite structure for all samples. Transmittance spectra have been recorded in order to determine absorbance, reflectivity, absorption coefficient and the optical constants such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary part of dielectric constant. It was seen that all the parameters under investigation affected by deposition time (1,2 3, and 4) hours.
