Growth kinetics of chemically deposited cdo thin films

الملخص EN

In this work CdO films were prepared by using chemical bath deposition technique where the cadmium nitrate salt was used as a source of cadmium ions.

The effect of different bath parameters has been considered in this work, namely, cadmium ion concentration, deposition time, temperature of solution and pH value, on the rate of deposition and terminal thickness.

Annealing process in air at temperature 573K° and time of 15min.

are carried out for the conversion of cadmium hydroxide film to oxide film.

X-Ray diffraction technique has confirmed the formation of cadmium oxide (CdO).
