Abstract
The dependence of the chemical composition and grain growth on the depositi
on potential of CdTe films on stainless steel substrates has been investiga
ted. The preliminary analysis using XRD, EPMA and AUGER techniques show tha
t the preferential orientation of the CdTe grains and the percentage compos
ition of the film depend on the potential applied between the reference ele
ctrode and the stainless steel substrate. It is possible to control the com
position of the electrodeposited CdTe films by properly adjusting the depos
ition potential. AUGER analysis revealed the presence of oxygen throughout
the thickness of the film. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
