Abstract
A new passivation film: evaporated CdTe/ZnS combination film was grown on HgCdTe and the interface was characterized by Capacitance-Voltage(CV) characteristics of Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor(MIS) test structures. Under proper processing conditions, the interface electrical parameters are: density of fixed charge ̃-4.0×1010cm-2, density of slow state ̃5.1×1010cm-2, density of fast interface state ̃2.7×1011cm-2eV-1, and the time stability is good. These results show CdTe/ZnS double layer film is suitable for passivation of HgCdTe infrared detectors. We have also investigated single layer ZnS and anodic oxide/CdTe/ZnS triple layer film and found that the time stability of ZnS isn't good, and there exists too high density of fixed positive charge at the triple layer film/HgCdTe interface.
