ABSTRACT:
A method is described for producing thin semiconductor films on a substrate by contacting a substrate with a solution containing a metal salt, a source of a Group VIa element, and chelating agent, and a noble metal in its elemental form. The resulting semiconductor films are useful for electronic and photovoltaic applications.
