Annotation The different thicknesses CdTe thin films were obtained by method of open evaporation in vacuum on glass and silicon (100) substrates. The surface of films was investigated by AFM analysis. Applying the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform and autocorrelation function, for the first time the patterns of the structure of the surface of cadmium telluride thin films formed during the vapor phase of condensation are studied. A periodic object grid is discovered. The grid period is related to the mismatch between lattice parameters of substrate and condensate.
