Abstract

ZnCdS semiconductor alloy films have been electrodeposited on conducting substrates. X-ray studies show polycrystalline nature exhibiting hexagonal structure for the solid solution. The lattice parameter variation obeys Vegard's law. SEM studies show decreasing grain size with increasing zinc content. Heat treated films show increased grain size thereby reducing grain boundary impurities. This lowers the resistivity of the deposited films.
