Abstract

In this paper we describe the use of an electrochemical sulphur cell to grow ZnSxSe1−x alloys on GaAs substrates. The cell uses the ionic transport of Ag ions in Ag2S to produce a sulphur flux which depends on the applied voltage. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of source will be discussed. We also describe the versatility of the cell for fabricating ZnSxSe1−x/ZnSySe1−y multilayers as well as more complex profiles.
