Abstract

A novel approach of MBE in situ annealing of HgCdTe for the purposes of dislocation reduction and obtaining the required p-type electrical properties is described in the paper. To prevent surface re-evaporation during annealing in vacuum, double cap layers of CdTe and wide band gap material of ZnTe or ZnSe were grown on top of the HgCdTe, and their effects were studied. The surface EPD of HgCdTe grown on GaAs substrates was reduced to 2-4×106 cm-2 by vacuum annealing at 390-450 °C. The relation between the hole concentration and annealing temperature was obtained.
