Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (EQCM) Studies of Cd and Te Atomic Layer Formation and their Alternation to form CdTe (EC-ALE),using a Thin Layer Flow Cell

摘要

An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) has been incorporated into a thin layer electrochemical cell to study the deposition of Cd and Te atomic layer formation and the alternated deposition of Cd and Te atomic layers to form CdTe using the EC-ALE methodology.9 MHz AT-cut quartz crystals,with 5 mm diameter sputtered Au electrodes on each side (Seiko),were used as substrates in a thin layer electrochemical flow cell.
