Abstract

The compound [MeCd(SePiPr2)2N]2 is used as a single-source precursor to cadmium selenide films in a low-pressure chemical vapour deposition process. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the precursor is reasonably volatile, making it suitable for the deposition of thin films. As-deposited films were identified as CdSe confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and their morphologies were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
