        AbstractTo obtain a suitable ohmic contact with the lowest resistivity, chromium (Cr) thin films were deposited on transparent conductive oxide indium tin oxide (ITO) by RF sputtering method in argon atmosphere and its electrical properties were optimized. The deposition of Cr thin film has been performed for the layers with thickness of 150, 300 and 600 nm in constant Ar gas flow of 30 SCCM. Results show that the lowest contact resistivity belongs to the layer with 600 nm thickness. Furthermore, Cr/ITO has been studied for five different RF powers of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 W. Experimental results show that specific contact resistance of Cr/ITO contact decreases in condition of depositing chromium thin films on ITO at higher RF powers. Analysis of SEM has been performed on the samples. The SEM micrographs show Cr thin films have smaller grains at RF power of 150 W, in comparison with other RF powers. The lowest specific contact resistivity for Cr/ITO has been obtained 4.7 × 10−2 Ω cm2 at RF power of 150 W with 600 nm thickness of chromium thin films. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractCadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films are deposited on the fluorine doped tin oxide coated glass substrate using the radio frequency magnetron sputtering setup. The effects of annealing in air on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of CdS thin film are studied. Optimal annealing temperature is investigated by annealing the CdS thin film at different annealing temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 °C. Thin films of CdS are characterized by X-ray diffractometer analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV–Vis–NIR spectrophotometer and four point probe. The as-grown CdS films are found to be polycrystalline in nature with a mixture of cubic and hexagonal phases. By increasing the annealing temperature to 500 °C, CdS film showed cubic phase, indicating the phase transition of CdS. It is found from physical characterizations that the heat treatment in air increased the mean grain size, the transmission, and the surface roughness of the CdS thin film, which are desired to the application in solar cells as a window layer material. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractThe ZnS thin films have been deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Post-deposition rapid thermal annealing treatment was done for the films deposited at different powers ranging from 70 to 100 W. One peak is observed for as-deposited and annealed thin films at around 28.48° corresponding to the (111) reflection plane indicating a zincblende structure. The overall intensity of the peaks and the FWHM values of as-deposited films increased after annealing corresponding to the increase in crystallinity. The optical energy bandgap is found in the range of 3.24–3.32 eV. With increasing annealing temperature, the decrease in the Urbach energy values indicating a decrease in localized states which is in good agreement with the XRD results where the crystallinity increased. The surface morphology of the films seems to be composed of Nano-granules with a compact arrangement. Apparently, the grain size increases in the deposited films as annealing temperature increases. The compositional ratio attained close to the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 after annealing. From the Hall effect measurement, the carrier concentration and mobility are found to increase after annealing. The high carrier concentration and mobility also comply with structural and optical analysis. Best results are found for the film annealed at 400 °C deposited at 90 W. تفاصيل المقالة
