Abstract

We study by photoacoustic spectroscopy the band-gap shift effect of CdS films. The CdS films were grown by chemical bath deposition and exposed to different annealing atmospheres over a range of temperature in which the sample structure changes. We show the band-gap evolution and resistivity as a function of temperature of thermal annealing and determine the process that produces the best combination of high band-gap energy and low resistivity.
