摘要: The effect of the In/Cd ratio on both microstructure and electrical conductivity parameters CdS thin films, as a good material for optical windows, was investigated. A new preparation method In-doped films used. effects annealing time temperature well thin-film thickness mentioned physical properties were studied. Qualitatively, increase In content with increasing could be observed using energy dispersive analysis X-ray (EDAX), matter which may used to confirm validity method. process found promote investigated films. This can attributed crystallization revealed by diffraction patterns scanning electron microscope photomicrographs.
