Abstract

Cadmium sulfoselenide CdSxSe1x thin films were thermally evaporated onto preheated glass substrates (523 K). The evaporation rate and film thickness were kept constant at 2.5 nm/s and 375 ± 5 nm, respectively. Microstructure and crystal imperfections of deposit CdSxSe1x thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive analysis by X-ray (EDAX). XRD analysis reveals the formation of films have the semi-crystalline nature and the hexagonal structure with preferential h002i direction. The microstructural parameters such as, lattice parameters, the crystallite size (D), microstrain hei, residual internal stress (S), dislocation density (d) and number of crystallite per unit volume (N) were calculated and found to be dependent upon the composition. The presence percentage of Cd, S and Se elements in the chalcogenide CdSxSe1x thin films were estimated by EDAX and a comparative study with other similar samples of the previous literature was discussed
