This book includes an over view, applications, thin film growth, deposition techniques and fabrication of ZnTe films using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction process (SILAR) method. Applications of thin films are discussed in brief. Growing thin films go through several distinct stages, each affecting the resulting film microstructure and hence its physical properties in some, sometimes not reversible, ways; discussed in this book. As the growth of these materials in different forms depends on various growth conditions, it is essential to know about the chemical content of these...

In present book, AFM has been used to measure surface morphology. For microanalysis the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), which is closely related to the electron probe, is designed primarily for producing electron images, but can also be used for elements mapping, and even point analysis.Scanning electron microscopes which are equipped with EDS (Energy Dispersed Spectroscopy) or EDAX (Energy-Dispersed Analysis of X-rays) detectors that capture the emitted X-ray is used for elemental analysis. The results, analysis and conclusions of...

This book starts with the theoretical back ground of optical absorption in semiconductors. Various optical parameters like the absorption (A), transmission(T), extinction coefficient (K), refractive index (n), optical energy gap (Eg), etc. were calculated with detailed analysis of UV-VIS-IR spectra for ZnTe thin films deposited by successive ionic layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method at various thickness and annealing temperature.The results are analyzed and discussed in detail in this book

This book includes the FTIR characterization of ZnTe in thin film forms. Thin films of ZnTe have been prepared by SILAR method at different thickness and also at different annealing temperature. The radiative properties: mostly transmittance of ZnTe thin films in far infrared have been investigated using FTIR spectroscopy, suggesting their possible use as IR transmission windows. The detailed analysis of these results has been carried out in this book.
