Abstract: Polycrystalline (00l)-oriented HgI2 films were prepared on ITO glass substrate by the modified Water Bath Hot Wall Physical Vapor Deposition method in the ultrasonic wave field.High quality polycrystalline (00l)-oriented HgI2 films, growing along the (00l) crystal plane with columnar and uniform grains, were obtained. Effects of growth process parameters on the quality of(00l)-oriented polycrystalline HgI2 films were discussed. The microstructure and surface morphology of HgI2 films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scan electron microscopes (SEM) and Raman spectrum. The results indicatedthat ultrasonic wave could improve the quality of HgI2 films and decrease the deposition temperature of HgI2 films with increasing ultrasonic frequency from 0 to 59kHz. The growth rate of HgI2 filmswas increased with the frequency of ultrasonic wave.
