Abstract
The structural and compositional properties of CdTe films, deposited from an aqueous solution of CdSO/sub 4/ and TeO by pulsed electrodeposition, potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrodeposition, have been studied. Polycrystalline films with a preferred <111> orientation are obtained in all techniques. However, films deposited by pulsed techniques show the higher intensity for <111> peak. An EDAX study shows that, for lower concentrations of CdSO/sub 4/ in the electrolyte, pulsed films are more stoichiometric compared to films deposited by other two techniques.
