Effect of different substrates on microstructural and optoelectrical properties of thermally evaporated CdSe thin films

Abstract

Substrates play an important role in influencing the physical properties of any thin film for different applications. The current work provides a brief overview of various substrate effects on CdSe thin film. XRD pattern reveals that CdSe films on FTO are more crystalline. The optical spectrum of CdSe films is highly affected by different substrates. The electrical properties of all samples were investigated using Hall and I-V measurements. CdSe films on FTO show higher electrical conductivity than others.
