Cadmium Oxide Thin Films Deposited by a Simplified Spray Pyrolysis Technique for Optoelectronic Applications

Cadmium oxide thin films were fabricated on glass substrates by a simplified and low cost spray pyrolysis technique at different substrate temperatures. The X-ray diffraction study showed that irrespective of substrate temperature all the films exhibits a preferential orientation along the (1 1 1) plane. The values of crystallite size were found to be in the range 20.72 – 29.6 nm. The perce...

The growth of CuS thin films by Spray Pyrolysis

Thin films of CuS (covellite) were deposited onto TCO (SnO2:F) glass by Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique. Aqueous and water:alcohol (ethanol, 1-propanol) solutions of copper(II) chloride and thiourea with different Cu/S molar ratio have been used as precursors. The substrate temperature was varied from 185°C to 285°C. The structural and the morphological characterization of the films has been car...

Electrical Properties of CZO Films Prepared by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis

CuZnO (CZO) films have attracted increasing amounts of attention due to their promising potential applications in semiconductor devices. ZnO shows n-type conductivity, and attempts have been made to dope several elements in ZnO to improve the electrical properties. This study investigated the electrical property transitions of CZO films and determined the copper concentration at which the condu...

Nanostructured Al Doped SnO2 Films Grown onto ITO Substrate via Spray Pyrolysis Route

We report on nanostructured films of Al doped tin oxide grown by facile spray pyrolysis route, and their physical properties were investigated. The sprayed films were grown onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate at 300 °C from the precursor (SnCl4, 5H2O). The content of Al is kept at 3 % in the solution. Structural, optical, electrical and surface properties were investigated. X-rays pattern rev...
