摘要
Ion milling was employed for the study of arsenic incorporation in molecular beam epitaxy-grown Hg0.8Cd0.2Te films doped in situ. The behaviour of specific defects, which formed after injection of mercury interstitials provided by the milling, allowed for estimating density of electrically active arsenic atoms. It is confirmed that the most efficient incorporation of As occurs when arsenic flux cracking is used, at the cracking zone temperature T-cr > 700 degrees C. Growth with doping without cracking was found to be accompanied by formation of Te-related defects, which ion milling activated electrically. Films doped from the cracker cell with T-cr > 700 degrees C appear to be almost free of these defects. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
