Abstract

CdTe evaporates into Cd and Te atoms under high power, pulsed laser irradiation. The mechanism is different from thermal evaporation where only atomic Cd and molecular Te are formed. The presence of Te atoms is responsible for some unique nucleation processes, such as the epitaxial growth of CdTe on (111) CdTe substrates with either polarity and the enhancement in sticking coefficient in CdTe deposition.
