Growth of SnSe structures by the ALD method using Et4Sn and H2Se as precursors has been investigated. It was established that coverage occurs at a temperature above 250 °C and the morphology of the layer depends on the temperature. At 350 °C we have grown sphere-shaped particles 100–200 nm in diameter completely covering the substrate in one monolayer. For samples grown at 450 °C petal-shaped crystal islands were observed. The IR spectrum of SnSe grown at 350 °C shows a small shift (∼0.20 eV) of the room-temperature band gap energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
