چکیده
Zinc sulphide thin films have been deposited with CADT using zinc chloride and zinc acetylacetonate as Zn compounds and thiourea and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylthiourea as S compounds soluted in methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and cellosolve. After optimalization of the deposition process homogeneous layers with a c-axis oriented hexagonal columnar structure with a high density (up to 96%) were obtained. Luminescence was observed with films grown above 500°C. The influence of the hot plate temperature, flow of carrier gas, nozzle geometry, distance nozzle substrate, and volatility of the solvent and reactants on the growth rate, homogenity and density of the film has been shown. Some rules for the selection of the starting compound are given. TG analyses of the reactant compounds was used to compare their volatility and stability.

AEROSOL REACTORS FOR THIN FILM DEPOSITION AND THEIR APPLICATION TO ZnS:CI DOPED FILMS
INTRODUCTION Thin films of different materials like metals, oxides, sulphides, etc., can be deposited by the Chemical Aerosol Deposition Technology (CADT). A liquid aerosol is used to transport the chemical reactants to the vicinity of a heated subslrate. Conditions are set to obtain an heterogeneous reaction (CVD mode) between the evaporated reactants and the substrate (Maatman et al. 1988). T...

Fine-grain thin superconducting films can be prepared by metalorganic Chemical Aerosol Deposition Technology (CADT). In this paper, we present the preparation and properties of YBa2Cu307_ x films on the different substrates, Si and SrTiO 3 (100). It is shown that the zero-resistance temperature (Tc,0) of the films on SrTiO 3 substrates is about 90 K, and the critical current density (Jc) at 77 ...

ZnO thin films were successfully synthesized on a porous silicon (PS) substrate by chemical bathdeposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),and photoluminescence (PL) analyses were carried out to investigate the effect of growth duration(3, 4, 5, and 6 h) on the optical and structural properties of the aligned ZnO nanorods.

Here, we have synthesized vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs), using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Cobalt and ethanol are used as the catalyst and the carbon source, respectively. The effects of ethanol flow rate, thickness of Co catalyst film, and growth time on the properties of the carbon nanotube growth are investigated. The results show that the flow rate of ethanol and...
