There are various techniques to deposit solid semiconducting materials in the form of thin layer called as thin film. Electro deposition is one of these techniques. It is the process of depositing substance by passage of electric current through the conducting medium called electrolyte, producing a chemical change. The property of electrodeposited film depends on electrolyte, pH of the electrolyte, electrode nature, Potential and current density. The article discusses effect of these parameters on formation mechanism of thin films along with basic study of the method.
