摘要: Abstract II–VI semiconductor heteroepitaxial layers have been grown on (001) GaAs substrates by OMCVD, at temperatures of 365°C. The systems were CdTe/ZnTe/GaAs, where, in some cases, (CdHg)Te was top CdTe. We examined the interfaces transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ZnTe/GaAs interface is abrupt and contains misfit dislocations. On contrary, there no TEM contrast ZnTe/CdTe interface. Threading dislocations can also be observed growm CdTe a remarkably low dislocation density. This due to interdiffusion multilayer process used for their preparation, which consists to, first, deposit alternate HgTe/CdTe (misfit ∼0.3%). initial strained superlittice eliminates X-ray microanalysis secondary ion mass spectrometry detect presence impurities layers. Arsenic gallium found concentrations up few percent semiconductors. Their lattice along
