摘要
Results of large-area (up to 1000 cm(2)/run) Cd1-xZnxTe heteroepitaxy on both GaAs and GaAs/Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) are presented. Cd1-xZnxTe (x = 0-0.1) films exhibited specular surface morphology, 1% thickness uniformity (standard deviation), and compositional uniformity (Delta x) of +/-0.002 over 100 mm diam substrates. For selected substrate orientations and deposition conditions, the only planar defects exhibited by (111)B Cd1-xZnxTe/GaAs/Si films were lamella twins parallel to the CdTe/GaAs interface; these do not propagate through either the Cd Zn Te layer or subsequently deposited liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) HgCdTe layer(s). Background Ga and As-impurity levels for Cd1-xZnxTe on GaAs/Si substrates were below the secondary ion mass spectroscopy detection limit. Preliminary results of HgCdTe liquid phase epitaxy using a Te-rich melt on Si-based substrates resulted in xray rocking curve linewidths as narrow as 72 are-sec and etch-pit densities in the range 1 to 3 x 10(6) cm(2).
