Description

The electrical and optical properties of chlorine doped CdTe single crystals grown by vertical Bridgman technique were investigated. The conduction type conversion from p-type to n-type was happened in CdTe containing CdCl2 between 0.05 wt% to 0.1wt%. From temperature dependance of electrical conductivities, the activation energies of VCD in undoped, complex of VCD with impurity in p-type, and chlorine donor in n-type CdTe crystal were found out to be 0.18eV, 0.082eV, and 0.024eV, respectively. And, the photoluminescence spectra showed edge emission band and donor-acceptor pair emission band associated with transitions between donors and acceptors. (Author)
