CdS nanoparticles have been prepared by a chemical method and deposited as a thin film on both P-type silicon and porous silicon (PS) substrates by spin coating technique as a photoconductive detector. The Hall measurements show that the nanoparticles are n-type with carrier concentration of about (− 5.45 × 10 10 cm −3). The response time of the fabricated detectors on Si, PS and (CdS + TPD/PS) substrates was measured (by illuminating the sample with Halogen lamp 250 W) and its values are 5.2 ms, 2.1 ms and 1.3 ms, respectively. The specific detectivity and photoresponsivity of the fabricated detector on PS are found to be (9.9 × 10 12 Watt −1 Hz 1/2 cm −1 and 0.043 A/W). The surface functionalization of the CdS nanoparticles film deposited on porous silicon (PS) substrate by triphenyldiamine (TPD) has highly improved the photoresponsivity and response time of the detector to 0.059 A/W and 1.3 ms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
