Cadmium Sulfide and Cadmium Phosphide Thin Films from a Single Cadmium Compound

Abstract

Aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of Cd[(SPiPr2)2N]2 leads to the growth of cadmium sulfide and/or phosphide thin films on glass. Decomposition of the precursor has been studied by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry and modeled by density functional theory.
