Abstract

Among II-VI semiconductors CdTe is the one that can be grown in better crystal quality. However most of the edge and near edge luminescence properties are still to be clarified. CdTe can be obtained in both n and p type and conductivity type conversion is obtained under heat treatment.

In this work we studied the behaviour of a batch of CdTe samples under annealing in different conditions. We observed the growth and destruction of the 1.47 eV band and separated the 1.47 eV and 1.43 eV bands. We also show that these bands are strongly related with the chemical stoi chiometry.
