Zinc sulfide thin films have been prepared through the effective-cost chemical bath deposition (CBD), utilizing various post-deposition treatments (PDT). PDT parameters like ammonia concentration, dipping time, and ultrasonic cleaning (UC) were investigated. The study found that ZnS thin film surfac...
