Abstract
We have fabricated vacuum-evaporated CdSe films with thickness, of the order of micrometers. The films show hexagonal structure with c-axes perpendicular to the glass substrates. At higher temperatures, the sample exhibits grain-boundary scattering and Se the vacancy acts as a donor impurity; while at lower temperatures, shallow donor levels overlap into the conduction band and thus metallic impurity conduction occurs.
