摘要：

A study of point defects in II-Vt compound semiconductors was undertaken and has revealed that open volume defects are present in a wide variety of these samples. Zn-based binary compounds contain primarily neutral divacancy defects in concentrations in the mid-10(16) cm(-3). CdTe samples contain neutral monovacancy sized defect complexes in the high-10(16) cm(-3) range. When a small fraction of Zn or Se is alloyed into CdTe, the defect profile changes dramatically to one dominated by divacancy sized defects at roughly half the original concentration.
