Abstract

Cubic CdS thin film with the strongest XRD peak (111) at diffraction angle $(\theta)$ of 26.5 was well made at substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. At that time, lattice constant a of the thin film was $5.79{\AA}$, grain size of that was more over ${\mu}m$ and it's resistivity was over $10^3{\Omega}cm$. And the peak of diffraction intensityat miller index (111) of CdS:In thin film with dopant In of 1 atom% was shown higher about 20 % than undoped CdS thin film. Also, CdS:In thin film had in part hexagonal structure among cubic structure as secondary phase. Lattice constant of a and grain size of secondary phase of the film with dopant In of 1 atom% was $5.81{\AA}$ and around $1{\mu}m$ respectively The lowest resistivity of $5.1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ was appeared on dopant In of 1.5 atom%. Optical band gap of undoped CdS thin film was 2.43 eV and CdS:In thin film with dopant In of 0.5 atom% had the largest band gap 2.49 eV.
