Structural and surface analysis of thin-film ZnTe formed with pulsed-laser deposition

MORFOLOGICAL AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF II–VI SEMICONDUCTOR THIN FILMS (ZnTe, CdTe, ZnS)

“…High-frequency cathode sputtering [3,4], pyrolysis [4], pulse laser deposition [5] and electron-beam evaporation [6], closed space sublimation (CSS) [7][8] are only a few of technologies used for obtaining thin chalcogenide films. Due to technical features of the evaporator the CSS method allows to grow high-quality semiconductor thin films under controllable technological process.…”

Ag doped ZnTe films prepared by closed space sublimation and an ion exchange process

“…Among II-VI compound semiconductors zinc telluride (ZnTe) is very attractive for optoelectronic device applications in the green spectral range, due to its direct band gap of ∼2.26 eV [1][2][3][4].…”

“…ZnTe thin films were prepared by several techniques including pulsed laser deposition [1], sputtering [5], electron beam [6], electro-deposition [7], isothermal closed space sublimation [8], SILAR method [9], brush plated [2], thermal evaporation [10][11][12] and CSS [13]. On the other hand, ion exchange process was recently utilized for doping of ZnTe and other II-VI semiconductors by Cu, Ag and In [10,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] due to the simplicity and low cost of the method.…”

Characterization of zinc telluride thin films deposited by two-source technique and post-annealed in nitrogen ambient

“…Among II-VI compound semiconductors zinc telluride (ZnTe) is very attractive for optoelectronic device applications in the green spectral range, due to its direct band gap of $ 2.26 eV [1][2][3]. P-type ZnTe is also used as high efficiency stable contacts for CdTe based solar cells [2,4].…”

“…ZnTe thin films have been prepared by several techniques, including pulsed laser deposition [1], Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [5,6], sputtering [7], electron beam [8], electro-deposition [9], isothermal closed space sublimation [10], SILAR method [11], brush plate [2], thermal evaporation [12][13][14][15] and MOCVD [16].…”
