Abstract:The results of investigations into spatial distribution of donors in p-HgCdTe graded band-gap layers with various composition profiles in the near-surface layer upon ion-beam etching are reported. It is found that the depth of the resulting n + -layer is weakly dependent on the conditions of ion-beam etching and composition of material of the surface and is about 0.5-1 μm. The electron density in the n + -layer on the surface is observed to increase with time of beam etching. It is shown that the conditions of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
