Abstract The lattice location of diffused gold and platinum in zinc selenide (ZnSe) epitaxial layers was studied using the Rutherford backscattering (RBS) channeling technique. Thin Au and Pt films were evaporated onto ZnSe samples. The Au/ZnSe samples were annealed at 525°C and the residual Au film was removed by etching. Channeling angular scan measurements showed that about 30% of Au atoms were close to substitutional site (displaced about 0.2 A). In the case of the Pt/ZnSe samples the annealing temperatures ranged from 600°C to 800°C. The Pt minimum yields along 〈1 0 0〉 direction were close to the random value, varying from 80% to 90%. The measured Pt angular scans along 〈1 0 0〉 and 〈1 1 0〉 directions indicated a random location.
