✦ Synopsis

The structural, morphological and optical properties of vacuum-evaporated CdTe thin films were investigated as a function of substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing without and with CdCl 2 /treatment at 400°C for 30 min. Diffraction patterns are almost the same exhibiting higher preferential orientation corresponding to (111) plane of the cubic phase. The intensity of the (111) peak increased with the CdCl 2 /annealing treatment. The microstructure observed for all films following the CdCl 2 /annealing treatment are granular, regardless of the as-deposited microstructure. The grain sizes are increased after the CdCl 2 /annealing treatment but now contain voids around the grain boundaries. The optical band gaps, E g , were found to be 1.50, 1.50 and 1.48 eV for films deposited at 200 K and annealed without and with CdCl 2 /treatment at 400°C for 30 min respectively. A progressive sharpening of the absorption edge upon heat treatment particularly for the CdCl 2 /treated was observed.

Thin films of InSe were obtained by thermal evaporation techniques on glass substrates maintained at various temperatures (T sb = 30°, 400°C). X-ray diffraction analysis showed the occurrence of amorphous to polycrystalline transformation in the films deposited at higher substrate temperature (400°C
