Abstract
We report the formation of stable and reproducible ohmic contacts on p‐type CdTe by pulsed laser heating. Metal pads of Au or Cd3P2 are deposited on the surface of weakly doped CdTe crystals, and are heated with millisecond light pulses from a krypton laser. Good ohmic contacts are obtained between room temperature and 77 K. The contact resistivities at room temperature are 0.5 Ω cm2 for gold contacts, and 0.15 Ω cm2 for Cd3P2 contacts.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
