Abstract

The results presented are of an investigation into the electrical properties of sublimated zinc telluride films of the cubic modification obtained under various conditions of production. The electrical resistivity and the thermo-emf were measured on test specimens at room temperature, and the sign of the current carriers was determined. The dependence of the resistivity on the specimen thickness, on the temperature of preliminary heating of the substrate on which the film was deposited, and on the evaporation temperature was studied. In addition the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of layers obtained under various conditions of deposition was investigated. It was established that the thermo-emf coefficient and the specific conductivity of zinc telluride films depend to a considerable extent on the conditions under which they were prepared. The differences that were found were attributed to a change in the stoichiometric composition of the test specimens.
