In this study, 100 nm CdSe thin films were grown on borosilicate glass substrates by using Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature (25 �C). Deposited films were annealed in a vacuum furnace at 100 �C, 200 �C, 300 �C, 400 �C and 500 �C for 10 min, respectively. In-depth analysis of the microstructural and optoelectrical properties of annealed films were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV�Vis spectrometry and Hall Effect measurements. From XRD results, the films illustrated hexagonal structure with preferred orientation (002) at 2? = 24.12�. UV�Vis study indicated that the transmission ranges were from 75% to over 85% for annealed samples and the calculated optical band gap was in the range 1.65 eV�1.73 eV. Optical properties demonstrated that CdSe had the potential to be incorporated as a window layer in solar cells. Meanwhile, the electrical measurements showed n-type conductivity with the carrier concentration of 1014 cm?3 for all the annealed films. The optimized results recommend sputtered CdSe thin films annealed at 400 �C as a possible window layer to the Cd-based solar cells. � 2020 Elsevier Ltd Final 2023-05-29T08:06:53Z 2023-05-29T08:06:53Z 2020 Article 10.1016/j.spmi.2020.106716 2-s2.0-85094322571 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85094322571&doi=10.1016%2fj.spmi.2020.106716&partnerID=40&md5=8436dd1d9a8ad42b13ea767c32fef117 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/25125 148 106716 Academic Press Scopus
