Abstract

Details about the MOVPE growth of thick single crystal CdZnTe layers on (211)Si substrates are presented. The growth was carried out at a substrate temperature of 650°C, using dimethylcadmium, dimethylzinc, and diethyltellurium precursors. Control of Zn-concentration in the range from 0 to 0.2 was performed by controlling the precursors' flow-rates and ratio. Results from the XRD showed grown layers were single crystalline with no phase separation observed. The 4.2 K PL results show high intensity bound-exciton peaks which shifted to higher energies with increasing Zn-concentrations.
