The effects of metal catalytic layer on the performance of CdZnTe thick film

Abstract

CdZnTe thick films were prepared by using close-spaced sublimation (CSS) method. The effects of metal catalytic layer on the performance of CdZnTe thick film was examined. The findings demonstrate that the Au catalytic buffer layer, in comparison to the Al metal layer, significantly affects the growth rate, grain size, and surface morphology of the CdZnTe thick film. The properties of the CdZnTe thick film is considerably impacted by the thickness of the Au layer.
