Vacuum evaporated cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films were implanted with $Ar^+$ and $N^+$ for different doses. The properties of the ion implanted CdS thin films have been analysed using XRD, optical transmittance spectra, and Raman scattering studies. Formation of Cd metallic clusters were observed in ion implanted films. The band gap of $Ar^+$ doped films decreased from 2.385 eV of the undoped film to 2.28 eV for the maximum doping. In the case of $N^+$ doped film the band gap decreased from 2.385 to 2.301 eV, whereas the absorption coefficient values increased with the increase of implantation dose. On implantation of both types of ions, the Raman peak position appeared at $299\textrm{cm}^{-1}$ and the FWHM changed with the ion dose.

Cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin film, which is used as a window layer of heterojunction solar cell, on the glass substrate was deposited by vacuum evaporation. Effects of deposition conditions such as the source and substrate temperature on electrical and optical properties of CdS films was investigated. As the source temperature was increased, the deposition rate of CdS films was increased. In addition, the optical transmittance and the electrical resistivity of CdS films were decreased as the source temperature was increased. This results were attributed to the increase of excess Cd amount in the film. The crystal structure of CdS films exhibited the hexagonal phase with preferential orientation of the (002) plane. As the substrate temperature was increased, the crystal structure of CdS films was improved and the resistivity of the films was increased due to the decrease of excess Cd in film.

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films were prepared using chemical bath deposition (CBD), and the structural, optical and photoconductive properties were investigated. The crystal structure of CdS thin film was studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystallite size, dislocation density and lattice constant of CBD CdS thin films were investigated. The dislocation density of CdS thin films initially decreases with increasing film thickness, and it is nearly constant over the thickness of 2,500 ${\AA}$. The dislocation density decreases with increasing the crystallite size. The Urbach energies of CdS thin films are obtained by fitting the optical absorption coefficient. The optical band gap of CdS thin films increases and finally saturates with increasing the lattice constant. The Urbach energy and optical band gap of the 2,900 A-thick CdS thin film prepared for 60 minutes are 0.24 eV and 2.83 eV, respectively. The activation energies of the 2,900 ${\AA}$-thick CdS thin film at low and high temperature regions were 14 meV and 31 meV, respectively. It is considered that these activation energies correspond to donor levels associated with shallow traps or surface states of CdS thin film. Also, the value of ${\gamma}$ was obtained from the light transfer characteristic of CdS thin film. The value of ${\gamma}$ for the 2,900 A-thick CdS thin film was 1 at 10 V, and it saturates with increasing the applied voltage.

Cadmium sulphide (CdS) films have been prepared on polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and Coming 7059 substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature. A comparison of the properties of the films deposited on polymer and glass substrates was performed. In addition, the influence of the sputter power on the structural and optical properties of these films was evaluated.

진공 증착한 CdS 박막의 질소 이온 주입 효과를 X-선 회절 검사, 광 투과율, 라만 산란 특성을 통하여 조사하였다. 질소 이온 주입하지 않은 CdS 박막은 (0 0 2)면으로의 우선 방위를 가지고 성장하였다. 질소 이온 주입한 시편의 경우 metallic Cd가 형성됨을 XRD 분석 결과 알 수 있었다. 가시광 영역에서의 광투과율은 질소 이온 주입 양이 많아짐에 따라 크게 감소하였다. 또한 질소 이온 주입 양에 따라 CdS 박막의 흡수 계수는 지수 함수적으로 증가하였고, 밴드 갭은 감소하였다 CdS 박막의 라만 peak 위치는 질소 이온 주입 양에 관계없이 299 cm-1로 거의 일정하지만, peak의 FWHM은 이온 주입 양이 증가함에 따라 커졌고, peak 면적은 감소하였다.

Polycrystalline cadmium sulfide(CdS) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath deposition(CBD) and vacuum evaporation (VE) techniques. VE-CdS films consisted primarily of hexagonal phase, whereas CBD CdS films containing primarily the cubic form. VE-grown films were shown to have better crystallinity than CBD-grown films. The grain size of the CBD films is smaller than the ones of VE films. VE-CdS films exhibited relatively high transmittance in the above-gap region and band gap compared with CBD films. However, CdTe solar cells with these low quality CBD-CdS layers yield higher and more stable characteristics. Current-voltage-temperature measurements showed that the current transport for both cells was controlled by both tunneling and interface recombination but the cells with CBD-CdS displayed less tunneling.

For large scaled solar cells and photosensors CdS thin films of $2{\mu}m$ thickness have deposited on ITO glass substrate by chemical bath deposition methode in $300^{\circ}C$ electric furnace. The surface roughness and resistance of cadmium sulphide(CdS) thin films with different microstructures and morphologies was investigated by using a x-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an atomic force microscope (AFM), and a near-field scanning microwave microscope (NFMM). As the different substrate heat temperatures, the microwave reflection coefficient $S_{11}$ and intensity of the (002) diffraction peak was changed, and the surface morphology also has shown differently.
