Influence of pH on the Morphology Properties of ZnSe Thin Films Studied by Atomic Force Microscopy
Abstract Zinc selenide thin films were deposited on microscope glass slide under various pH values such as pH 2, 3 and 4 using chemical bath deposition method. In this study, the grain size, film thickness and roughness of the deposited ZnSe films were characterized using atomic force microscopy tec...
