Abstract

The deposition of MSe (M= Cd, Zn) films by low pressure chemical vapor deposition from air stable single-source precursors, was analyzed. The thermogravimetric analysis of cadmium and zinc showed that the precursors were volatile and began to evaporate at 375°C. It was found using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry experiments that the use of methyl(n-hexyl) derivatives instead of symmetric alkyl hindered the formation of diethyldiselenide. The observed color of Zinc selenide films produced at 525°C was dark orange and the film was transparent.
