Abstractstructural, optical and electrical properties were evaluated. Significant progress has been made toward the growth of high performance HgCdTe devices by molecular beam epitaxy. Long wave infrared detectors operating at 9.9 μm at 78K exhibited a mean RoAo product of 1170 Ωcm2 at 0-fov. Very long wave infrared detectors operating at 14 μm at 78K exhibited a mean RoA product of 3.5 Ωcm2 at f/2 fov. These values represent the state-of-the- art for molecular beam epitaxially grown HgCdTe detectors.

ABSTRACTPhotoassisted molecular beam epitaxy has been employed to successfully prepare p-type and n-type modulation-doped HgCdTe superlattices. The samples were grown at 170°C. In this paper, we report details of the MBE growth experiments and describe the optical and electrical properties that these new multilayered quantum well structures of HgCdTe possess.

ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy (MBE) offers benefits such as the capability for growth of compositionally-tailored heterostructures and in-situ doping of HgCdTe alloys. These capabilities were applied to the growth of long wave infrared unispectral focal plane arrays (FPA) with 480×4 elements. The detectivity (D*) map of the FPA demonstrated performance that was higher than the specification value, with no defective channels. Two-color detectors with the n-p-n architecture, for the simultaneous detection of two closely spaced bands in the midwave infrared spectrum were also grown by MBE. These devices exhibited sharp turn-off and turn-on in both bands. The quantum efficiency was greater than 70% and average R°A values exceeded 1×106 Ω-cm2 in both bands. These result demonstrate that high performance HgCdTe devices can be grown by MBE.

ABSTRACTWe have grown high-mobility LWIR HgCdTe thin films on CdTe substrates, using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The structural, optical, and electrical properties of these epilayers were determined by SEM, DCRC, FTIR, and Hall effect measurements. For films of 10 to 11 µm thick and composition X value ranging from 0.152 to 0.172, the highest mobility observed was 7.5 × 105 cm2 /V-sec, and the FWHMs of the rocking curves were 75 to 110 arcsec. We also have carried out the temperature-dependent EXAFS study of HgCdTe.
