Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited HgTe-CdTe epitaxial superlattices

Abstract
For the first time, small-period epitaxial superlattices were grown using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The superlattices were periods of HgTe-CdTe grown on CdTe substrates at 150 °C using dimethylcadmium, dimethylmercury, and dimethyltelluride. Cross-section transmission electron microscopy shows that layers as thin as 80 Å were obtained.
