Cadmium telluride films were grown by the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. The samples were prepared under different incident deposition flux angles (α = 0°, 20° and 70° measured from the normal to the substrate surface). During deposition, the substrate temperature was maintained at room temperature. The structural study was performed using an x-ray diffraction diffractometer. The samples were found to be poly-crystalline with cubic structure for those deposited at α = 0° and 20° and hexagonal structure for the one deposited at 70°. The images of samples obtained by the field emission scanning electron microscopy technique showed that the GLAD method could produce a columnar layer tilted toward the incident deposition flux. The optical properties study by the UV–Vis spectroscopy technique showed that the use of this growth technique affected the optical properties of the films. A higher absorption coefficient in the visible and near-IR spectral range was observed for the sample deposited at α = 70°. This is an important result from the photovoltaic applications point of view where absorber materials with large absorption coefficients are needed. Also, it seems that the sample with a high incident deposition flux angle has the capability of making an n-CdTe/p-CdTe homo-junction.
