Abstract

Improved structural quality Hg1−xCdxTe epitaxial films have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using the interdiffused multilayer process (IMP) on lattice-matched CdZnTe substrates at temperatures above 400°C with diethyltelluride. Double-crystal rocking curve data with values as low as 25 arcsec correlated with cross-sectional transmission electron micrographs. The process of growing alternate layers of HgTe/CdTe for improved compositional uniformity, and the inherent mismatch, was not detrimental to the structural quality, which was limited by that of the substrate.
