Abstract

The results of X-ray AFM, SEM, and SIMS studies of near-surface regions of HgCdTe graded-gap epitaxial layers obtained by high-temperature annealing in vapour of the main components have been presented. We used ISOVPE layers of HgCdTe grown on CdTe substrates the surface of which was implanted by As ions. The AFM investigation has shown that the morphology of surfaces of HgCdTe structures obtained at the same conditions is significantly influenced by the crystal orientation of the initial substrates of CdTe. By means of SIMS and SEM analysis a substantial increase of the molar content of HgCdTe solid solution on the surface of ion-implanted epitaxial layers after high-temperature annealing has been observed. It is shown that large gradients of composite HgCdTe solid solution are formed in the near-surface regions of the epitaxial layers due to small changes in the thermodynamically equilibrium conditions of the process of high-temperature annealing.
