The Effect of Thernal Annealing and Growth of $CdIn_2S_4$ Single Crystal Thin Film by Hot Wall Epitaxy

Hot Wall Epitaxy(HWE)법에 의해 성장된 $CdIn_2S_4$ 단결정 박막 성장의 광학적 특성

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $CdIn_2S_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by hot wall epitaxy(HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the as-grown $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films was annealed in Cd-, S-, and In-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{cd}$, $V_s$, $Cd_{int}$, and $S_{int}$, obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment m the S-atmosphere converted $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films to an optical p-type. Also. we confirmed that In in $CdIn_2S_4$/GaAs did not form the native defects because In in $CdIn_2S_4$ single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.
