ZnSe thin films were deposited on well-cleaned glass substrates by the close-spaced vacuum sublimation technique. Various structural, sub-structural and optical properties have been investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectral photometry, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Electro-physical studies were performed using an ITO/ZnSe/In "sandwich" structure. The correlation between the films structure and their optical and electrophysical properties was estimated. The evaluated films were fine-crystalline, with their grain size depending on the substrate temperature. The optical band gap was estimated through optical measurements and the high optical qualities of the ZnSe films were confirmed by Raman and FTIR analyses.

The study of the structure-phase composition and electrophysical properties of film alloys of molybdenum and nickel or iron were deposited by the method of simultaneous thermo-vacuum condensation was done. In a non-annealing state, the samples remain biphasic. After heat treatment at 750 K in vacuum, the formation of the metastable phases of the fcc-Ni3Mo (lattice parameter a  0.360 nm) and bcc-Fe2Mo (a  0.296 nm) in film alloys based on Ni and Mo was recorded at concentrations of atoms of ferromagnetic metal 75 and 65 at.% respectively Investigation of the thermoresistive properties of films showed that the dispersion of the structure, the admixture phases and the solid phase reactions affect the temperature dependence of the resistivity and the temperature coefficient of resistance. In film alloys, the range of elastic deformation remains greater than several times than for single-layer metal films, while the strain coefficient is practically unchanged.

The operation of the basic functional element of the integrated circuit -the field-effect transistor -is based on the drift of electrons and holes in the Si channel. With the use of stretching-compression of the crystal lattice of the Si substrate, by introducing impurity atoms, the mobility of carriers is somewhat reduced. At the same time, considerable interest to nanowires (NWs) based on Si (Ge) solid solution as elements for the formation of highly efficient channels of field-effect transistors necessitates studies of their structural, electrical and temperature characteristics. The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of coaxial Si-channel gate-all-around (GAA) FET structures. The structure of the n-type GAA NWFET and its volt-ampere characteristics were constructed using Silvaco TCAD tools. Within the framework of the diffusion-drift model of carrier transport, taking into account the Bohm quantum potential, effective operating parameters were obtained: permissible values of the threshold voltage, leakage current and Ion/Ioff coefficient, and their dependences on temperature. It was obtained that the values of the threshold voltage Vt and subthreshold scattering SS remain almost unchanged with increasing temperature in the range from 280 to 400 K, which is primarily due to the additional influence of quantum effects for a given channel thickness and impurity concentrations. In addition, a typical decrease in the switch-on current by 45.5 % and leakage current by 46.4 % in a given temperature range was recorded. To assess the thermal stability of the studied transistor systems, the temperature coefficients Vt, SS, Ion and Ioff were calculated. Their values were respectively 8.6310 -5 ; -0.5310 -5 ; -3.8710 -3 and -3.8010 -3 K -1 . The results of numerical simulations showed good agreement with the experimental data.
