Abstract

A review is presented of recent advances in the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of thin films of group III-chalcogenides. The deposition of thermodynamic phases of composition ME and M2E3 (M = Ga, In; E = S, Se. Te) will be presented. Also included is a discussion of the development of molecular control over the structure of deposited films and the atmospheric pressure MOCVD growth of the high pressure phase of InS and a meta-stable cubic phase of GaS.
