Electrical and Structural Properties of Chemically Deposited Photoconducting Films

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the rise and decay of the chemically deposited quaternary metal sulfide thin films, which were deposited at different concentrations, temperatures, and deposition durations. On a glass substrate, films were deposited using a chemical bath deposition technique (CBD method). A graph plotted for the study of the rise and decay curves for these quaternary films was deposited. In addition to calculating the photocurrent and dark current values for the entire sample, the photoconductivity gain was also examined. There are reports and discussions about the X-ray diffraction pattern of our sample. The resulting films have thin-filmlike structures. This provides a unique outcome for photoconduction applications. Photoconducting gain ranges from 2.9 x 105 to 47.5 x 106are observed for various concentration, temperature, and deposition time combinations.
