Compensation effect of Sn impurity in cadmium telluride

  • 1. Chernovitskij Gosudarstvennyj Univ. (Ukrainian SSR)

Description

The equilibrium characteristics of CdFe:Sn crystals grown by the Bridgman method are investigated. The impurity content in samples has been within the NSn=1016-1018 cm-3 limits. It has been found that at a certain (critical) Sn (Ncrt) concentration a sharp increase of specific resistance occurs and the material becomes n-type semi-insulators. The Ncrt(∼ 7x1016 cm-3) is determined. The effect of thermal treatment (800 deg C, PCd=min) on the properties of semiinsulating CdTe:Sn samples is studied. It is established that equilibrium crystal characteristics (carrier mobility, carrier density) practically remain unchainged
