  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEPOSITION OF A LAYER OF AN INDIUM CHALCOGENIDE ONTO A SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20110017283
    Abstract: A method deposits a layer of an indium chalcogenide onto a substrate. The method includes the steps of: providing an indium source in a reaction zone, providing a gaseous source of a chalcogen in the reaction zone, and heating the substrate. Thereby in the reaction zone, at a pressure of approximately atmospheric ambient pressure, the indium originating from the indium source and the chalcogen originating from the source of a chalcogen are converted to an indium chalcogenide being deposited onto the surface of the substrate.
