Abstract
CdS/CdTe thin films with 2.1 \(\upmu \hbox {m}\) thickness were grown using R.F. magnetron sputtering in two different mixtures of Ar and \(\hbox {O}_{2}\). The substrate was a commercially available Pilkington glass with TCO deposited. The concentration of \(\hbox {O}_{2}\) was selected to be 0, 1 and 5 %. The crystallographic, morphological, optical and electrical properties of the as-deposited samples were compared with the ones treated with \(\hbox {CdCl}_{2}\) and subsequently annealed at high temperature. The films morphology and crystallinity were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction shows a transition of zinc blend cubic phase to hexagonal as the oxygen content increases from 0 to 5 %. The measurements show the larger band gap and grain sizes for the films with higher oxygen content. The band gap and transmission rate of the O\(_2\)-free and oxygenated devices is different and the grains size is greatly affected by the oxygen content.
