Control of prereaction in the metalorganic chemical vapour deposition of zinc- and cadmium-based chalcogenides

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

It is shown that pyridine, when introduced into the gas phase, is effective in controlling the prereaction between the group II alkyl precursur and the group VI hydride during the metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) of ZnSe. During the corresponding growth of CdSe, pyridine induces a greatly reduced effect. Possible reaction mechanisms to account for prereaction control are proposed.
