Abstract

Basic aspects of acceptor doped HgCdTe layers grown by MOCVD are presented. HgCdTe (111) layers were grown on GaAs (100) substrates in 350°C horizontal reactor using IMP deposition method. TDMAAs and AsH3 were alternatively used as a effective p-type doping precursors. Incorporation and activation rates of arsenic were studied. Over a wide range of Hg1-xCdxTe compositions (0.17<x<0.4) arsenic doping control from 5∙1015cm-3 to 5∙1017cm-3 was obtained without post growth anneal. SIMS profiles, Hall and minority carrier lifetime measurement results are presented for chemical and electrical carrier concentrations characterization. Presented device quality p-type layers show Auger-7 process as a dominant lifetime limiting mechanism.
