Structural and Optical Characteristics of CdSe Thin Films Prepared by Chemical Bath Deposition Technique

Abstract

Cadmium selenide thin films were deposited on glass substrate using chemical bath technique for different bath temperatures 313K, 333K and 353K. Polycrystalline nature of the material was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique and various structural parameters were calculated. The optical properties were revealed by UV-Visible transmittance spectra and the band gap energy was determined.
