We report the optimization of CdS thin film grown by chemical bath deposition where homogenous reactions are min- imized. The optimum parameters have enabled us to maximize the thickness of the deposited film in a single dip and to grow thicker films by periodically replenishing the concentration of reactants while the substrate remains continuously dipped in the reaction bath. Characterization results reveal the deposited CdS films exhibit improved optical and elec- trical properties.
