Abstract

The formation of oxide phases during thermal oxidation of doped polycrystalline lead selenide films is investigated as a function of the temperature-time conditions of annealing and introduced impurities. It is demonstrated that the microstructure and phase composition of the films doped with bismuth are characterized by evolutionary changes in the course of annealing. During heat treatment of lead selenide films doped with iodine, the microstructure of the film undergoes a drastic transformation of the “encapsulation” type and, simultaneously, the phase composition changes sharply.
