Abstract
We have studied the effect of annealing on the spectral and photoelectric properties of polycrystalline CdSe films produced by thermal evaporation and implanted with Se ions to doses from 5 × 1015 to 5 × 1016 cm−2. The results demonstrate that, when cadmium vacancies and selenium interstitials are major defects, annealing leads to the formation of microcrystalline two-phase layers during recrystallization, which have low p-type conductivity due to a shallow acceptor at E v + 0.04–0.05 eV, related to interstitial selenium.
