Abstract: The electrochemical formation of Se semiconductor thin-film on Ti substrate and its conversion to CdSe were studied by linear potential sweep photovoltammetry etc.The results show that p-Se thin film can be obtained by electrodepositing in H2SeO3 solution and the film can further transformed into n-CdSe in acidic CdSO4 solution cathodically.The kinetics of Se elec-trodeposition was analyzed and the possible mechanism of conversion to n-CdSe was proposed.The principle was suggested to be used for preparation of p-n semiconductor heterojunction.

Key words: Semiconductor electrodeposition, p type Se, n type CdSe, Linear potential sweep photovoltammetry
