Abstract
The structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnSe films deposited by chemical bath deposition method were investigated as a function of pH(11.0 to13.0). XRD studies showed that films deposited were polycrystalline in nature with zinc-blende structure and a strong [111] texture.The grain size increases as pH increases. From the optical studies the band gap is obtained and showed that it varies inversely with pH and in electrical studies it was observed that both dark and photoconductivity increases as the particle size increases..
