Abstract
We report the successful p-type doping of CdTe films with arsenic using the photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy growth technique. These doped epilayers were grown at substrate temperatures as low as 180 °C. The room-temperature hole concentrations in the CdTe:As layers ranged from 7×1015 to 6.2×1018 cm−3 as determined by van der Pauw–Hall effect measurements. We propose a doping mechanism responsible for the high p-type doping levels observed in the films. The arsenic acceptor ionization energy was found to ∼58–60 meV using low-temperature photoluminescence measurements.
