Abstract

Epitaxial cadmium sulphide layers, 300 to 1500 Å in thickness, have been grown by direct synthesis on the basal face of cadmium single crystals. The reaction Cd + S → CdS was carried out in sealed glass ampoules evacuated up to 10-6 torr. The morphology, phase structure and epitaxy of the films were investigated by electron microscope, electron and X-ray diffraction techniques. It was found that the film lattice had a wurtzitetype (hexagonal) structure. The epitaxial layers were produced at substrate temperatures of 150 to 310° C with sulphur vapour pressures of 6×10-4 torr. It was found that {0 0 0 1} CdS ‖|{0 0 0 1} Cd with 〈1\(\left\langle {11\bar 20} \right\rangle {\text{ Cd}}\).
