CdS-PbS Multilayer Thin Films Grown by the SILAR Method

Abstract:

The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique was used to grow double layer structures of CdS-PbS. The growth of thin films by the SILAR technique from diluted aqueous solutions was achieved, ionic layer by ionic layer, at room temperature and normal pressure. The thin films on silicon were characterized by XRD, AFM, XPS. It was established that a double layer could be grown on crystalline silicon and that the morphology and crystallinity of the films could be controlled by changing the lead precursor.
