TLDR
In this paper, the effect of adsorption and temperature on the electrical resistivity of SnSe thin films on the thickness range 500-2500 AA was investigated and it was found that the temperature variation of resistance indicates interesting irreversible behaviour in the first heating cycle and the behaviour is suspected to be due to acceptor formation at higher temperatures.
Abstract
The effect of adsorption and temperature (300-450 K) on the electrical resistivity of SnSe thin films on the thickness range 500-2500 AA was investigated. Adsorption of oxygen has considerable influence on the electrical resistivity and it is observed to act as a p-type dopant. The temperature variation of resistance indicates interesting irreversible behaviour in the first heating cycle and the behaviour is suspected to be due to acceptor formation at higher temperatures. Adsorption and annealing were found to have a significant effect on the temperature variation of the resistance of SnSe thin films.

Atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition of SnSe and SnSe2 thin films on glass

TL;DR: In this paper, atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition of tin monoselenide and tin diselenide films on glass substrate was achieved by reaction of diethyl selenide with tin tetrachloride at 350-650°C. X-ray diffraction showed that all the films were crystalline and matched the reported pattern for SnSe and or SnSe2.
