Abstract

The doping and pressure dependence of the surface layer capacitance has been investigated in this work for Hg0.8Cd0.2Te with doping concentration NA from 3.6 × 1016 to 1.1 × 1018 cm-nd under hydrostatic pressure up to 7.3 kbar at temperature 4.2 K. By using a capacitance-voltage spectroscopy (C-V) fitting model, the subband structures such as the first subband energy E0 as a function of the energy gap Eg and the variation of E0 with doping have been determined. The second onset of the inversion i capacitance spectroscopy on HgCdTe MIS structure has been observed. By using an expanded C-V fitting model several quantum parameters relating to the second subband of inversion layer electron can be determined quantitatively.
