Abstract

Deep levels in p⁺n Hg_0.73Cd_0.27Te/Hg_0.68Cd_0.32Te planar heterostructure diodes, grown by molecular beam epitaxy on CdZnTe wafers, were studied using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The DLTS spectra showed the presence of at least two hole traps with activation energies close to midgap. The activation energy obtained from the Arrhenius plots showed a strong dependence on the aplied bias, making it difficult to obtain a precise value.
