Abstract

Vapor-phase-grown CdTe is interesting in that it represents an alternate growth technology for CdTe and in addition provides an alternate setting in which to observe the poorly-understood 1.4 eV luminescence that has received much attention in liquid-phase-grown material. In this paper we present the first cathodoluminescence measurements in vapor-phase-grown CdTe. We describe the injection level dependence, temperature dependence, and frequency response of the luminescence of vapor-phase-grown CdTe and compare the results to those reported previously on liquid-phase-grown CdTe.
