摘要
We studied the resistivity, photosensitivity, photoluminescence, and surface photovoltage of CdTe crystals doped with Ge or Sri to extend our knowledge of the influence of the deep-donor level on compensation and afterglow effects. We demonstrated a strong correlation between photosensitivity caused by photoelectrons with Fermi-level variations near the Ge-Cd(0/2+) or Sn-Cd(0/2+) energy levels. Surface photovoltage measurements confirmed that when the concentration of residual acceptors varied along the direction of growth, then trapping conditions dramatically changed as a defect was converted from a neutral state to doubly charged positive one.
