The regular features in the variation of resistivity of n-and p-type indium selenide in the direction parallel to the hexagonal symmetry axis of crystals during its intercalation with aromatic-hydrocarbon molecules (benzene and naphthalene) are investigated. For the first time, the possibility of decreasing the resistivity of n-InSe aged under pressure of C{sub 10}H{sub 8} saturated vapors to values comparable to those in semiconductors used for manufacturing high-performance solar cells (for example, Si) is found. The qualitative model explaining the transition of n-type indium monoselenide from a 'high-resistance' to 'low-resistance' state during its intercalation with naphthalene molecules is proposed.
