Growth and morphology of electrodeposited semiconducting films

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Semiconducting CdSe films have been electrodeposited on a variety of substrates by means of two techniques. The processes of nucleation, coalescence and growth have been accompanied ex‐situ by scanning electron microscopy, and in‐situ by optical reflectance. We analyze the growth mode for different film thicknesses and we discuss the applications in solar cells and other devices.
