Popis: Structural and electrical characterization of palladium oxide (PdO) films grown by thermal oxidation of nanometric Pd films is reported. Pd films were deposited on n-type silicon (1 1 1) substrates by the electroless deposition technique (EDT) in a PdCl 2 –HF aqueous solution. The growth rate and the structural properties of PdO films were characterized using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The electrical properties of the PdO films were measured by the van der Pauw method. The PdO films resulted p-type with a hole concentration of 10 20 cm −3 and mobility in the range of 2–32 cm 2 /V s.
