Direct electrodeposition of PbTe thin films on n-type silicon

Direct electrodeposition of PbTe thin films on n-type silicon
Direct electrodeposition of PbTe thin films on n-type silicon
High quality lead telluride thin films were directly deposited onto n-type silicon (1 0 0) substrates by electrodeposition at room temperature. The deposition mechanism was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the deposited PbTe films exhibited a polycrystalline rock salt structure and good optical properties with a direct band gap of 0.31 eV.

Abstract

High quality lead telluride thin films were directly deposited onto n-type silicon (1 0 0) substrates by electrodeposition at room temperature. The deposition mechanism was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the deposited PbTe films exhibited a polycrystalline rock salt structure and good optical properties with a direct band gap of 0.31 eV.
