Abstract
Cd1-xZnxS thin films were grown on soda-lime glass substrates by chemical-bath deposition (CBD). The surface morphology, thickness, composition, state of the constituent elements and optical properties of the films were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), step height measurement instrument, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and spectrophotometer, respectively. The affect of annealing for the Cd1-xZnxS thin films was studied. The Cd1-xZnxS thin films had cubic crystal structure and the average transmittance was 86.8% in the visible range with the optical band gap of 2.61eV and the films thickness was about 50nm. The atomic ratio of (Cd + Zn): S increased after annealing.
