Abstract

Photo-conductive properties of CdS films deposited on glass substrates by a reactive sputtering in Ar atmosphere were characterized as a function of working pressure and the film thickness. The XRD measurements of CdS films revealed obvious (002) preferred orientation. In 300nm-thick of films, difference between dark and photo-resistance increases with increasing working pressure within the films. The films at 5 mTorr of working pressure show a dark resistance of approximately $1\;{\times}\;10^6\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and a photo-resistance of $3\;{\times}\;10^4\;{\Omega}/{\square}$. The decrease dark- and photo-resistance of films as thickness decrease were $1.4\;{\times}\;10^6$ and $3\;{\times}\;10^4\;{\Omega}/{\square}$, respectively. CdS films deposited on glass substrates are considered tobe suitable for photo-conductivity materials in stealth radome applications.
