N2 - CdS thin films were grown on flexible PET and PET/ITO substrates by chemical bath deposition varying the deposition time. The structural analysis indicates that CdS films are composed of nanocrystalline and amorphous material. CdS films grown on PET substrates have hexagonal phase, while those grown on PET/ITO substrates have a cubic phase. The bandgap values of CdS films grown on PET substrates are in the range 2.31-2.45 eV, and the Eg of CdS films grown on PET/ITO substrates are 2.18-2.42 eV. A strong green photoluminescence emission was observed in all the samples, which is associated to near band edge transitions. CdS films grown on PET/ITO substrates have an additional emission at 2.80 eV, which can be attributed to the presence of nano-crystals, in agreement with TEM analyses.
