Zusammenfassung: | Zinc sulphide multilayer films are prepared by chemical bath deposition from different host solutions. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to characterize the structural properties of the films. The surface composition of the films is studied by Auger electrons spectroscopy, and optical properties are studied by spectrophotometric measurements. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal distinct single crystalline phase with preferential orientation along the (1

1) plane of the zinc blende structure for the ZnS multilayer. The spacing between (1
1
1) planes of ZnS is well matched to the spacing between (1
1
2) planes of the chalcopyrite CuInS
2. After heat treatment all films show a near stoichiometric surface composition as indicated in their AES data. UV–vis measurements show that ZnS multilayer films prepared from the zinc sulphate solution have more than 70% transmission in the wavelengths above 350
nm and an optical band gap of about 3.76
eV. |
