Thin Film Depositions of CdTe Semiconductors on Amorphous and Single Crystal Substrates and Comparisons of their Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thin films of CdTe semiconductors were prepared on sapphire single crystal and quartz glass substrates by a vacuum evaporation method. Crystallinity and photoluminescence properties of the obtained CdTe thin films on the substrates were semi-quantitatively compared concerning the difference of the substrate materials. Dependences of the properties on the substrate temperature in the preparations and indium doping to the thin films were also investigated.
