Heteroepitaxial growth of CdTe on InSb by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Abstract
Heteroepitaxial growth of CdTe on an InSb (111)B substrate has been investigated using the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method under a total vapor pressure of about 1 Pa. By cracking diethyltellurium thermally at 670 °C, CdTe films were deposited in a wide substrate temperature range from 120 to 450 °C. Single‐crystal films grown at 250 °C showed a good surface morphology.
