A method of single-source vacuum evaporation for preparing InSb thin f
ilms, having high electron mobilities onto glass substrates is studied
. Electron mobilities of 6500 cm(2)/Vs in the 1.7 mu m thick InSb film
is obtained by single-source vacuum evaporation followed-by capped an
nealing. The effects of the source temperature, the substrate temperat
ure and the post annealing conditions on electrical and crystal proper
ties of the deposited films are discussed.
