Abstract

High quality SrS and SrS:Ce thin films were deposited from Sr(thd)2, Ce(thd)4 and H2S via a low pressure MOCVD process. Film characteristics were found to be insensitive to the presence of the cerium dopant in the concentration range investigated. Depositions were carried out for a wide temperature range (250–550° C). Deposition rates were found to be relatively insensitive for the temperature range investigated. The films produced were found to be highly crystalline at all temperatures investigated. Deposited material showed texturing as a function of substrate material and temperature. FWHM of the <111> reflections were found to have a 2Θ values of 0.15–0.18 deg. for all temperatures. RBS and AES shows stoichiometric 1:1 SrS with less than 2% carbon and oxygen contaminates. ERD indicates the films to have 1 – 2.5% hydrogen. Films doped with 0.019 – 0.043 atom – 250 volts.
