Photo-conducting CdS films were coated on glass at 450 degrees C using cadmium chloride and thiourea as Cd and S sources, respectively, with different concentrations. The sprayed CdS films are crystallized in the hexagonal structure and orienting along (0 0 2) plane with good adherence. All the films have high optical absorption in the visible region showing optical bandgap values in the range of 2.39-2.43 eV. The variation of precursor alters the surface morphology of the films. The formed grains are uniformly spread over the substrate and highly agglomerated at 0.15 M concentration. Band to band emission and defect-related emission are reported using photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The CdS device shows relatively high photosensitivity of 0.4 A/W, detectivity of 8.46 x 10(10) Jones, external quantum efficiency (EQE of 140%) with a rise time about 0.2 s and decay time about 0.3 s. These results propose that the CdS thin films are potential candidates for the visible photo-detector applications prepared using an easy and low-cost fabrication method.
