摘要： CdTe:Sn thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on glass substrates at room temperature. The study of the changes in the chemical, structural and optical properties of the films as a function of the density of Sn ions calculated from Langmuir planar probe measurements is presented. Four films were grown by the simultaneous ablation of CdTe and Sn targets in vacuum. The Sn ion density was modified by varying the fluence on the Sn target, while the CdTe plasma density was kept constant for all the deposits. The chemical composition was analyzed by XPS, where a dependence of the Sn incorporation into the CdTe lattice, on the Sn ion plasma density was demonstrated. The crystalline structure analysis by XRD showed a hexagonal structure for all the films. When the CdTe and Sn plasmas were combined, a preferential orientation in the plane (110) was observed for the resulting films. Furthermore, as Sn plasma density increased, the intensity of the (110) peak increased as well, suggesting that crystalline re-orientation is an effect of Sn incorporated into the CdTe lattice. Vibrational behavior was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. A vibrational mode appeared at 118 cm-1 and was related to a Sn-Te vibration, suggesting the incorporation of substitutional Sn into the CdTe lattice. The Sn-Te bonding was confirmed by XPS by the appearance of signals centered at 485 and 494 eV, which correspond to Sn2+ in SnTe. Thin films thicknesses values were between 320 and 460 nm increasing with Sn ion density. The band gap calculated using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, resulted in values ranging from 1.42 to 1.46 eV. PL measurements showed a slight blue shift of the near-edge emission as Sn plasma density increased.
