Chemical Solution Deposition of Semiconductor Films

Discussing specific depositions of a wide range of semiconductors and properties of the resulting films, Chemical Solution Deposition of Semiconductor Films examines the processes involved and explains the effect of various process parameters on final film and film deposition outcomes through the use of detailed examples. Supplying experimental results and practical examples, the book covers fundamental scientific principles underlying the chemical deposition process, various mechanisms involved in deposition, films of all the semiconductors deposited by this technique, and the use of semiconductor films in photovoltaics, photoelectrochemical properties, and size quantization effects.
