Low temperature, aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) of CdS, ZnS, and Cd1-xZnxS using monomeric single-source precursors: M(SOCCH3)(2)TMEDA
Communication: Novel, monomeric single-source precursors for the CVD of metal sulfides, which are widely used in solar cell technology, are described. The Figure shows the molecular structure of M(SOCCH3)TMEDA, where TMEDA = N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine, for the Cd and Zn complexes. These compounds allow the lowest deposition temperatures so far reported for highly oriented crystalline, stoichiometric films.
