Characterization of Cu-doped CdTe thin films prepared by closed space sublimation (css) techniques

Description

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin films of different thickness are deposited on the microscopic slides of water-white glass substrates using the close spaced sublimation (CSS) method. The films are doped with Cu by immersion in Cu (NO/sub 3/)2-H/sub 2/O solution for different times and the effect of immersion time and subsequent heating in vacuum on the electrical, structural and optical properties are presented. The XRD and SEM results show that appropriate Cu doping would be favorable to the growth of CdTe crystallite. The Hall Effect measurements indicate that the conductivity of the films could be improved by Cu doping. (author)
