Abstract

A method is described for the creation of novel q-effect cadmium sulfide membranes. The membranes are made by first creating a dilute cadmium sulfide colloid in aqueous suspension and then removing the water and excess salts therefrom. The cadmium sulfide membrane thus produced is luminescent at room temperature and may have application in laser fabrication.

Process for producing cadmium sulfide on a cadmium telluride surface

Patent Levi, Dean H [Lakewood, CO]; Nelson, Art J [Longmont, CO]; Ahrenkiel, Richard K [Lakewood, CO]

A process for producing a layer of cadmium sulfide on a cadmium telluride surface to be employed in a photovoltaic device. The process comprises providing a cadmium telluride surface which is exposed to a hydrogen sulfide plasma at an exposure flow rate, an exposure time and an exposure temperature sufficient to permit reaction between the hydrogen sulfide and cadmium telluride to thereby form a cadmium sulfide layer on the cadmium telluride surface and accomplish passivation. In addition to passivation, a heterojunction at the interface of the cadmium sulfide and the cadmium telluride can be formed when the layer of cadmiummore »« less

Process for thin film deposition of cadmium sulfide

Patent Muruska, H Paul [East Windsor, NJ]; Sansregret, Joseph L [Scotch Plains, NJ]; Young, Archie R [Montclair, NJ]

The present invention teaches a process for depositing layers of cadmium sulfide. The process includes depositing a layer of cadmium oxide by spray pyrolysis of a cadmium salt in an aqueous or organic solvent. The oxide film is then converted into cadmium sulfide by thermal ion exchange of the O.sup.-2 for S.sup.-2 by annealing the oxide layer in gaseous sulfur at elevated temperatures.

Cadmium zinc sulfide by solution growth

Patent Chen, Wen S [Seattle, WA]

A process for depositing thin layers of a II-VI compound cadmium zinc sulfide (CdZnS) by an aqueous solution growth technique with quality suitable for high efficiency photovoltaic or other devices which can benefit from the band edge shift resulting from the inclusion of Zn in the sulfide. A first solution comprising CdCl.sub.2 2.5H.sub.2 O, NH.sub.4 Cl, NH.sub.4 OH and ZnCl.sub.2, and a second solution comprising thiourea ((NH.sub.2).sub.2 CS) are combined and placed in a deposition cell, along with a substrate to form a thin i.e. 10 nm film of CdZnS on the substrate. This process can be sequentially repeated withmore »« less

Cadmium sulfide membranes

Patent Spanhel, L; Anderson, M A

This patent describes a method of making a cadmium sulfide membrane. It comprises preparing a cadmium sulfide colloid by introducing sulfide ions to an aqueous solution of 2.5 {times} 10 {sub {minus}3}M cadmium ions and polyphosphate molecules; concentrating the colloid by removing water from the colloid by concentration until the concentrated colloid has an electrical conductivity which exceeds twenty micro-mhos; drying the concentrated colloid until a solid membrane is produced.
