Abstract

CdSe, belongs to group II-VI semiconductors, is found to be promising material for its applications in the area of electronics and opto-electronics. The structural properties of CdSe thin films have been investigated. CdSe thin films have been deposited on suitably cleaned glass substrates by thermal evaporation method for different thickness 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm and 300 nm. Polycrystalline nature of the material was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique and various structural parameters were calculated. All the films show most preferred orientation along (0 0 2) plane. The grain size of deposited CdSe films is small and is within the range of 26 to 40 nm..
