Abstract
Well oriented CdS and (Cd,Zn)S layers were obtained by chemical spray on a SnO/sub 2/ layer deposited on float glass. The introduction of Zn at concentrations lower than 10% maintains the preferred orientation of the crystallites. At higher concentrations it is supposed that part of the Zn becomes oxidized and forms ZnO on the surface. Al-doped layers have good surface smoothness and are very compact. In order to obtain a copper stopping layer Al doping between 0.1 and 1% seems to be enough to sufficiently disturb the orientation of the crystallites while the electrical conductivity remains high. In doping seems to be rejected because of the surface deterioration.
