摘要
We have developed a new, efficient method to dope bulk single crystals of CdTe by In, via gas phase diffusion, using In4Te3 as the source. Doping was carried out on crystals of very high resistivity (>5 M Omega cm), following annealing in the temperature range of 350-1000 degrees C. Resulting crystals showed n-type conductivity with a free carrier concentration in the range: of 10(15)-10(18) cm(-3) and carrier mobility of 100-750 cm(2)/(V s), depending on the annealing temperature and time, and on the cooling conditions. Incorporation of In was found to be a function of annealing time and temperature only. Up to 650 degrees C, the In and the free electron concentrations are roughly the same.
