Abstract

Influential factors to the detectivity of n-CMT grown by liquid phase epitaxy on CdTe(111)B substrate are investigated. The factors are such as qualities of the substratesdopants and electrical parameters by which photoconductivity in CMT is governed.

We show that the doping with small amounts of In is an appropriate mean not only to raise the mobility but also to make reproductivity better. The In- doped epitagia�r after annealed has the highest mobility among tested in 3×10 cm5 /Vsec, and the photoconductive lifetime in 0.54 μsec at 77K.The resultant detectivity of an infrared device is 3×1010 cmHz1/2 w−1.
