DLTS studies of deep traps in CdTe

Abstract
The results are described of DLTS measurements in n-CdTe using as-grown, annealed, doped and undoped samples with free carrier concentrations ranging from 6*1014 cm-3 to 1017 cm-3. Nine separate electron traps were found with emission activation energies lying between 0.22 eV and 0.89 eV. Three of the traps exhibited strongly temperature-dependent filling rates and one of these three showed bi-exponential decay. The trap model proposed by Takabe et al. (1982) and based on a thermally activated capture cross section is found to be inadequate.
