The transport properties of amorphous films of Cd3As2 and its solid solutions (Cd1-x-yZnxMny)3As2 (x + y = 0.1; y = 0, 0.02) obtained by magnetron sputtering in the temperature range 10-300 K have been studied. Doping with Zn leads to a change in the type conductivity: from semiconductor to metallic. The resistance of (Cd0.9Zn0.1)3As2 and (Cd0.9Zn0.08Mn0.02)3As2 thin films decreases with decreasing temperature. This behavior is associated with a decrease in the electron mobility due to scattering by ionized impurities upon heating.
