Effects of the Substrate Temperature on the Structure and Properties of Cd1-xMnxTe Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cd1-xMnxTe (CdMnTe) can be a good candidate for gamma and X-ray detection because of its wide band-gap, high resistivity, and good electro-transport properties. Polycrystalline CdMnTe films were grown by closed-space sublimation method on glasses at different substrate temperatures. In this paper, substrate temperature dependent surface morphology, chemical composition, structural and electrical properties of CdMnTe films are investigated systematically.
