Abstract

Cadmium telluride thin films were deposited on conducting glass and titanium substrates by the pulse plating technique at different duty cycles in the range 10–50%. The films were characterised by X-ray diffraction and were found to possess single phase cubic structure. Optical studies indicated a direct band gap of 1.45 eV. Surface morphology of the films indicated that the crystallite size increases with increase of duty cycle. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies confirmed the formation of CdTe. Electron-dispersive X-ray studies were made to estimate the composition. Crossplane resistivity measurements indicated that the resistivity decreases with increase of duty cycle.
