Abstract

The kinetic corrections for the supersaturation of the initial liquid phase providing the preparation of Zn x Cd1 − x Te solid solution layers at low deposition temperatures (500–600°C) were found. The results of kinetic modeling were in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. It was shown that the inclusion of corrections for supersaturation of the initial liquid phase to the data on phase equilibria in the Zn-Cd-Te system was necessary for finding the temperature-time conditions of the crystallization of layers with the required composition.
