Abstract

The recent success in the growth of the II-VI class of semiconducting compounds by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has resulted in a sharp increase of interest in these materials and in their potential use. In addition, integration of several device functions onto a common substrate material (for example CdTe on GaAs or ZnSe on GaAs) is an area of focus for the optoelectronic community. One of the more important areas for appli­ cation of high quality II-VI films is infrared imaging where CdTe deposited by MBE onto GaAs substrates is proposed as the substrate for subsequent (Rg, Cd)Te and RgTe/CdTe superlattice deposition. Interest in the wide gap II-VI compounds is stimulated by the need for electronically address­ able flat panel display devices and for the development of wide gap (blue) LED and injection laser devices. For applications in the blue portion of the visible spectrum, Zn�e and ZnS have long been the favored candidates. Very high quality ZnSe has been grown by MBE. The optical character-
