Abstract

CdSe films were deposited on glass substrates (CdSe/glass) by thermal evaporation. Substrate temperature was lowered by cooling substrate holder with liquid nitrogen. Substrate temperatures were $200^{\circ}C$, $0^{\circ}C$ and $-40^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the CdSe/glass films were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical and electrical properties of the films were investigated by dependence of energy gap, photosensitivity and resistivity on the substrate temperature. CdSe/glass showed energy gap of ~1.72 eV regardless of substrate temperature. The resistivity of the films decreased to $0.5{\Omega}cm$ by lowering the substrate temperature to $-40^{\circ}C$. The CdSe/glass films prepared at $0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest photosensitivity among the films in this study.
