โฆ Synopsis
Cadmium telluride was deposited on various conducting substrates from an acidic bath of CdSO 4 (1 M) containing up to 200 ppm of TeO 2 . The deposition process which is a six-electron-transfer reaction, is described satisfactorily by a model developed based on the diffusion of HTeO 2 cations. The film structure, composition and the effect of annealing were studied. The optical dispersion of films which agrees well with that for the single crystal can be described by the classical boundelectron dispersion model. The number of bound electrons per CdTe molecule which participate in the dispersion process was determined to be 3.0. Annealing in air at 350 C has no influence on dispersion.
