For epitaxial growth of compound Zn1−xCd1−XTe by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), it is difficult to obtain a high composition ratio x. In this study, we have adopted a remote plasma enhanced (RPE) MOCVD method for the epitaxial growth. Cd1−xZnxTe with the composition ratio x in the range of 0 to 1 has been obtained while varying the ratio of dimethylcadmium (DMCd) to diethylzinc (DEZn) from 0 to 20%. The crystallinity of the epitaxial films was about 400 to 700 arcsec FWHM defined by X ray diffiraction measurements.
