Doping and conductivity in widegap II–VI compounds

  • Chapter
Widegap II–VI Compounds for Opto-electronic Applications

Part of the book series: Electronic Materials Series ((EMAT,volume 1))

Abstract

The achievement of good bipolar conductivity in widegap semiconductors has been an elusive aim of research for many years. An extensive review on II–VI compounds and their general properties has been presented by Hartmann et al. in 1982 [1]. Additional reviews, focusing more on the conductivity problem and on available dopants, are for instance those by Bhargava [2, 3], Dean [4], Marfaing [5], Neumark [6], Park and Shin [7] and Pautrat et al. [8]. In this presentation, I shall primarily emphasize work since 1981, i.e. that not covered by Hartmann et al. [1], as well as including some new concepts.
