A detailed comparative analysis using alternative Cl compounds such as InCl2, MgCl2, SnCl2, and ZnCl2 along with CdCl2 was conducted in this study to assess their viability for the thermal treatment of ultrathin CdTe films. Similar or even better structural and electrical properties were found upon...
