Abstract: The CuCdS2 thin film have been deposited on over the glass substrate by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. The film was characterized by Structural, Functional group, Morphology and Optical properties. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern result showed that the deposited film has confirmed CuCdS2 phase with hexagonal structure. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the functional group metal vibration of deposited film. The deposited film surface morphology was analysis by scanning electron microscope and no visible cracks. The deposited film has a good absorbance in the visible range and calculated energy band gap is 1.77 eV. This film as a good applicant for economical thin film solar cells.
Keywords: CuCdS2, SILAR, Hexagonal Structure, Bandgap.
Scope of the Article: Application Specific ICs (ASICs)
