Nano crystallite thin films of Cadmium Telluride have been grown on glass substrates by thermal evaporation under vacuum. The growth conditions to get stoichiometric films of the compound have been optimized. The effect of substrate temperature and annealing on photosensitivity has been investigated. Also the effect of deposition parameters and post deposition annealing on rise time and decay time have been studied in detail.
