Abstract

In the group of II-VI compound semiconductor, cadmium zinc sulphide (Cd_xZn_1-xS) thin films have broad application in photovoltaic, optoelectronic devices etc. For heterojunction aspects, Cd_xZn_1-xS thin film can be used as heterojunction partner for CdTe as the absorber layer. In this work, CdZnS thin films prepared on glass substrates by Successive Ion Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method by varying the composition. The XRD patterns of deposited films showed polycrystalline with the hexagonal phase. The crystallite size of the films was estimated from W-H plot. The bond length of the film varied w.r.to the composition of the Cd_xZn_1-xS films. The urbach energy of the films was calcualted from absorbance data.
