In the present manuscript we report synthesis and characterization of CdS thin films deposited on soda lime glass at low temperature using chemical bath deposition technique (CBD). The bath composition included cadmium chloride monohydrate [CdCl2.2H2O], thiourea [NH2.SC.NH2] and ammonia (NH3) solution. The effects of deposition time on the structural and optical properties of CdS films were investigated. The CdS films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy for the analysis of structural, bonding configuration and optical properties. The XRD patterns of the films deposited reveals the presence of nanocrystalline CdS is in the hexagonal structure. The formation of CdS is confirmed from FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The optical bandgap of the CdS films were estimated from transmittance and reflectance spectra recorded using UV-Visible spectroscopic technique and it was observed to be nearly 2.2 eV.
