Cadmium sulfide CdS has band gab of 2.42 eV, which is suitable as window material for thin film to fabricate solar cell. It has high absorption coefficient and acceptable conversion efficiency in addition to its low cost. Many samples are prepared using vacuum evaporation techniques with different deposition parameters. Hall Effect, resistivity and optoelectronic measurements are conducted on the fabricated samples. The analysis of the results indicates that the optoelectronic properties, namely photogenerated current are dependent on the thickness, substrate temperature and deposition rate.
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.
