Processing parameters and transport properties of vacuum evaporated CdSe thin films

Semiconducting thin films of cadmium selenide have been grown by conventional thermal evaporation technique on glass substrate. Films evaporated at substrate temperature equal 523 K are stoichiometric and homogeneous. Effect of various growth parameters like rate of deposition and substrate temperature on the electrical properties has been studied in details. Also, the annealed at 673 K under vacuum for I h films have been analyzed for resistivity and Hall effect. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
