摘要: Photon assisted metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of HgTe by the reaction mercury and diethyltelluride (DETe) on CdTe substrates is reported. The growths were done at 380–450°C subatmospheric pressure, with helium as carrier gas. A simple kinetic model for MOCVD growth presented. yields rate a function gas-phase partial pressures constituents in various limiting cases, corroborated experimental results. apparent activation energy without photons (33–49 kcal/mol) exceeds pyrolysis DETe (∼25 significantly reduced photon (18–28 kcal/mol). effect morphology, thickness uniformity, location along susceptor also presented discussed.
