Abstract
The formation of transparent conducting CdO films by chemical bath deposition is reported for the first time. These films exhibit an optical transmittance and electrical conductivity much higher than those CdO films prepared by other physical vapour deposition techniques. They exhibit an optical transmittance of more than 90% and electrical conductivity of the order of 103 Omega -1 cm-1. The very high optical transmittance coupled with the high electrical conductivity exhibited by these films makes them potential candidates for application as low-cost large-area transparent conductors.Keywords
