Abstract

Electron diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) have been used to investigate the origin of multiple orientation-relationships and defect structure of CdTe thin films grown on (100) GaAs and Si substrates by metal- organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). It has been determined that growth at 370°C with pre-exposure of the GaAs surface to Te following oxide desorption treatment at 600°C resulted in non-parallel epitaxy ((111)CdTe // (100)GaAs), while growth at 300°C following oxide desorption at 500°C with no exposure to Te resulted in parallel epitaxy ((100)CdTe // (100)GaAs). Both epitaxial orientation-relationships were observed on the same substrate for growth at 300°C temperature after 600°C oxide desorption treatment, but with no pre-exposure of the GaAs surface to Te. Preliminary results of growth of CdTe on Si are also reported.
