Abstract
CdS thin films prepared by chemical bath deposition technique are char acterized using X-ray diffraction, optical absorption spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy. The results of the annealing studies on the films in flowing argon and air atmospheres are also presented in this paper. The resistivity has drastically reduced on annealing in fl owing air which is attributed to the partial conversion of CdS to CdO phase.
