A CONTINUOUS THIN FILM OF A METAL CHALCOGENIDE

A continuous thin film comprises a metal chalcogenide, wherein the metal is selected from the periodic groups 13 or 14 and the chalcogen is: sulphur (S), selenide (Se), or tellurium (Te), and wherein the thin film has a thickness of less than 20 mm. Methods of forming the continuous thin film involv...

Zusammenfassung:A continuous thin film comprises a metal chalcogenide, wherein the metal is selected from the periodic groups 13 or 14 and the chalcogen is: sulphur (S), selenide (Se), or tellurium (Te), and wherein the thin film has a thickness of less than 20 mm. Methods of forming the continuous thin film involve thermally evaporating precursors to form a thin film on the surface of a substrate. In a particular embodiment, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is used to grow indium selenide (In2Se3) thin film from two precursors (In2Se3 and Se) and the thin film is used to fabricate a ferroelectric resistive memory device.
