Microstructure and electric properties of spray pyrolizedCdO thin films grown on SILAR deposited CdO seed

In this report, a substantial effect of seed layer on structural and electrical properties of CdO thin film have been presented. Thin films of CdO have been synthesized by spray pyrolysis method at 400 °C on seed layer of CdO grown by SILAR method on glass substrate at 85 °C. XRD study revealed a mono-phasic cubic structure of CdO thin films oriented along (2 0 0) plane with highest intensity when grown on seed layer. Electrical conductivity, Hall mobility, carrier concentration are found substantially high using seed layer which suggests that seed layer plays a crucial role to enhance better physical and electric properties of CdO films.
