Abstract

Photochemical passivation was used to improve the surface stability of indium-doped Hg0.8Cd0.2Te epitaxial layers grown on p-Cd0.96Zn0.04 Te substrates. The metal-insulator semiconductor behavior for Al/ZnS/passivated n-Hg0.8Cd0.2Te/p-Cd0.96Zn0.04 Te diodes was investigated, by performimg capacitance voltage(C-V) measurements at room temperature. Temperature of the In effusion cell was used to control the In-doping concentration. Magnitudes of fast state density and the fixed charge density in the Al/ZnS/photochemically passivated Hg0.8Cd0.2Te epilayer/Cd0.96Zn0.04 Te diode were smaller than those in the Al/ZnS/chemically passivated Hg0.8Cd0.2Te epilayer/Cd0.96Zn0.04Te diode.
