Enhancement of physical properties of vacuum evaporated CdTe thin films has been investigated.
Structural analysis reveals that the films are crystallized in cubic zinc-blende structure.
Optical band gap is found in the range 1.57–1.87 eV and observed to decrease with annealing temperature.
Electrical resistivity is observed to decrease with annealing.
Morphology studies show that the films are uniform, homogeneous and free from defects.
