In this work, cobalt-doped Cadmium oxide thin films are prepared by sol-gel spin coating technique on the glass substrate. The effects of annealing temperature and Co concentration on Structural, optical properties of the thin films are studied. XRD pattern indicates that a CdO single phase with a cubic polycrystalline structure is formed in all the samples. Prepared thin film samples were revealed by EDX analysis. Optical measurements show that the optical transmission of the layer is reduced and the optical-band gap decreases due to the increase in molar concentrations. The optical-band gap is decreasing while increasing of Co concentration and annealing temperature.
