Abstract

Zinc telluride thin films can be used in a large variety of applications such as optoelectronics and microelectronics tools. In this paper, the growth of ZnTe films prepared by electrodeposition, thermal evaporation and closed space sublimation method with various precursors and some its physical properties of obtained zinc telluride films are discussed.
