HYDROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF MERCURY(II) SULFIDE AND MERCURY(II) SELENIDE FILMS. REVIEW
Due to its unique optical and electrical properties of chalcogenides of zinc subgroup metals semiconductor thin films can be used in photovoltaic systems. The largest usage is acquired by CdS films. But due to its toxicity, there is considerable interest in replacing CdS with other semiconductor films with similar or even better properties obtained by chemical bath deposition (CBD). One of the candidates for replacing cadmium sulfide is chemically deposited mercury (II) chalcogenides films.
