CdS (Cadmium Sulfide) is a direct bandgap semiconductor material that is commonly used as a substrate material in the fabrication of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. CdS has a bandgap energy of 2.42 eV, making it an ideal material for applications such as photodetectors, photovoltaic cells, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
CdS substrates are typically grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) techniques. The quality of the CdS substrates is crucial for the performance of the final devices. The growth conditions, such as temperature and pressure, must be carefully controlled in order to obtain high-quality CdS substrates with minimal defects.
CdS substrates have several advantages over other substrate materials, including high thermal stability, good chemical stability, and low electrical conductivity. These properties make CdS an ideal substrate material for a wide range of applications in the fields of photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and electronic devices.
