Abstract
The results of the first experiments related to oriented CdTe film growth on a nonorienting substrate (glass) cooled to negative Celsius temperatures under extremely nonequilibrium conditions are reported. Technological, electron-diffraction, and X-ray investigation results are presented. A condensation diagram characterized by two regions within which the growth rate of films is anomalously low is obtained. The films grown at these rates are shown to possess a nearly perfect crystalline texture. The formation processes of the oriented films on an amorphous substrate under the above conditions are adequately interpreted in the context of a heteroepitaxy soliton model.
