Abstract

With the technique of molecular beam epitaxy, CdTe and CdxHg1−x Te (CMT) have been grown on CdTe (111)B substrates. The epiaxial temperatures are between 25°C and 250°C for CdTe and 120°C for CMT. These layers, with thickness up to 10μm, present a good cristallinity and low carrier concentrations at 77K. The low Hall mobility for MBE CMT can be improved by a post growth annealing.
