Oliva Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Cadmium sulphide Semiconductor film Predominance diagrams Chemical bath analysis Cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates were prepared by thechemical bath deposition technique at different values of pH and pNH3. This was made in order to analyze theinfluence of the initial chemical composition of the bath on some physical properties of the final CdS films, usedas optical windows for solar cells. The mechanism proposed in the literature for this deposition involves thetetra-ammonium cadmium (II) complex, Cd(NH3)2+4 , at the start of the reaction. Following this mechanism,the change in the concentration of Cd(NH3)2+4 gives a variation in the rate of deposition with the correspondingmodification in the quality of the film. Therefore, the predominance zone diagram of Cd2+ species in solution asa function of the values of pH and pNH3was used to analyze the reasons why the CdS/ITO thin films are favoredin just a narrow range of ammonium and hydroxide concentrations. To obtain useful films, the results showedthat low ammonium concentrations must be avoided at high pH values as well as high ammonium concentrationsat lower pH values. 2006 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46436568 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.3B Vol.36
