Abstract
In this work, cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films were deposited successfully by spray pyrolysis at different substrate temperatures. The influence of the preparation technique on the optical, morphological, and structural properties of the different substrate temperature CdSe films were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-Visible optical transmission. The XRD analysis reveals that CdSe thin film has hexagonal (wurtzite) and (cubic) crystal structures with different particle sizes depending on the substrate temperature. The SEM image shows uniform and adherent crystals. The optical energy gap was found to be in the range of 1. 70 – 2.59 eV with different temperatures.
