摘要
A comparative study of four different metal deposition methods on detector grade Cd1-xZnxTe crystal has been done using current-voltage (I-V) characterization and Ba-133 gamma spectroscopy. Electroless Au contact and thermal evaporated Au contact have been found to yield a smaller leakage current and a more linear/symmetric I-V curve than that of sputtered Pt and Au contact. An optimum detector performance can be achieved by combining the thermal evaporated Au deposition method with a chemical surface treatment consisting of 5%Br-MeOH followed by 2% Br-20% lactic acid in ethylene glycol. Low temperature photoluminescence spectra of Cd1-xZnxTe samples corresponding to these different metallization schemes are also presented and discussed.
