摘要: Abstract We present the first demonstration of atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) HgTe, CdTe and HgCdTe using Hg, Cd Te alkyl chemistry on GaAs substrates. The ALE deposition experiments were done at atmospheric pressure in a horizontal reactor equipped with fast switching manifold. Methylallytelluride, dimethylmercury (DMHg) dimethylcadmium used for Te, Hg sources respectively. HgTe was achieved 140°C, monolayer per cycle condition extended over wide range DMHg flux. growth carried out temperature (250–290°C) reactant partial pressure. layers also grown by alternately depositing onto substrates then interdiffusing them higher temperatures.
