Ga. Horley et al., Deposition of thin films of gallium sulfide from a novel liquid single-source precursor, Ga(SOCNEt2)(3), by aerosol-assisted CVD, CHEM VAPOR, 5(5), 1999, pp. 203
Group III chalcogenides are interesting materials for photovoltaic and opto
electronic devices. Here the synthesis and use of a novel, single-source pr
ecursor for the deposition of face-centered cubic GaS by aerosol-assisted C
VD is described. The films show a high degree of orientation and an unusual
spherical morphology arranged in a reasonably uniform array on the substra
te (see Figure).
