摘要: Polycrystalline In-doped CdS thin films have been deposited at 160, 220 and 250 degrees C by simultaneous evaporation of In from two crucibles. Films with concentrations, NIn, in the 1017-1021 cm-3 range characterised Hall measurements. The conductivity, mobility carrier concentration dependences on are reported. For lower conductivity is essentially determined deposition temperature. At NIn=8*1018 presents a minimum, which caused minimum mobility. rise not sufficient to compensate decrease mobility, contrary behaviour polycrystalline silicon, where no appears.
