Title:
A PROCESS FOR THE ELECTROCHEMICAL DEPOSITION OF A SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/016544
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process for the electrochemical deposition of a semiconductor material, which process comprises: (i) providing a non-aqueous solvent; (ii) providing at least one precursor salt which forms a source of the constituent elements within the semiconductor material to be deposited; and (iii) electrodepositing the semiconductor material onto an electrode substrate using the precursor salt in the non-aqueous solvent, characterised in that: (iv) the semiconductor material is a p-block or a post-transition metal semiconductor material containing at least one p-block element or post-transition metal; and (v) the non-aqueous solvent is a halocarbon non-aqueous solvent.
