Abstract

Abstract Mono-phased and stoichiometric InTe thin films were successfully prepared using vacuum evaporation technique. A systematic variation in substrate temperature and annealing temperature along with annealing duration resulted stoichiometric and single phase InTe films. The annealing treatment of as-deposited films resulted in the structural transformation from mixed phase of In2Te3 and InTe to mono-phased InTe. The electrical conductivity of stoichiometric single phase films was found to be 15.612 Ω−1 cm−1. The optical band gap of stoichiometric InTe films was found to be 1.42 eV and absorption coefficient of the films was of the order of 106 cm−1. Electrical properties of mono-phased films accompanied with optical properties such as direct band gap and absorption coefficient makes them suitable for optoelectronic devices.
