Abstract
It is demonstrated that As2Se3:Bi x films deposited by thermal evaporation have p-type impurity conductivity, whereas films of the same composition, produced by ion-plasma cosputtering in vacuum exhibit n-type impurity conductivity. On the basis of these results, a new method is suggested for the fabrication of p-n homojunctions in film structures made of chalcogenide glassy semiconductors doped with bismuth in various ways.
