Deposited CdTe films were characterized utilizing the X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), and Hall effect measurement system. CdTe thin films were in cubic and hexagonal-cubic orientations based on the deposition methods. Micro-strain and dislocation density for sputtered films were very high compared to CSS films. Crystallite sizes were in the range of 30�40 nm for CSS films and 7�25 nm for sputtering films. Grain size was estimated to be around 2 �m and thickness was approximately 1.5 �m for both CSS and sputtering system. Resistivity was almost same as 6.98 � 104 ?-cm and 6.57 � 104 ?-cm for CSS and sputtered films, respectively. The experimental results suggest that the CdTe films grown by CSS might be favorable as the optimum absorber layer for solar cell application. � 2021 Elsevier B.V.
