The effect of de-trapping on the carrier transport process in the CdZ'nTe detector is studied by laser beam-induced transient current (LBIC) measurement. Trapping time, de-trapping time, and mobility for electrons are determined directly from transient waveforms under various bias voltages. The results suggest that an electric field strengthens the capture and emission effects in trap center, which is associated with field-assisted capture and the Poole-Frenkel effect, respectively. The electron mobility is calculated to be 950 cm2/V-s and the corresponding electron mobility-lifetime product is found to be 1.32 × 10-3 cm2/V by a modified Hecht equation with considering the surface recombination effect. It is concluded that the trapping time and de-trapping time obtained from LBIC measurement provide direct information concerning the transport process.
通过红外透过成像研究了 Cd/Zn 气氛退火过程中 Cd0.9 Zn0.1 Te∶In 晶体内 Te 夹杂的密度及尺寸分布的演变.结果发现,Cd/Zn 气氛退火前,晶体中的 Te 夹杂密度分布比较均匀;退火后,晶体高温端近表面区域的 Te 夹杂密度较退火前提高了1个数量级,而晶体内部的 Te 夹杂密度则较退火前降低了1个数量级,且其密度沿温度梯度方向逐渐增加.退火前,晶体表面和内部的 Te 夹杂的直径主要分布在1~25μm;退火后,在晶体表面,直径<45μm 的 Te 夹杂密度显著增大;而在晶体内部,直径<5μm 和>25μm的 Te 夹杂密度显著增大.导致这些现象的原因是退火过程中,Te 夹杂沿着温度梯度方向不断向晶体表面迁移,在迁移过程中尺寸相近的 Te 夹杂通过合并长大,尺寸相差较大的 Te 夹杂则以 Ostwald 熟化方式长大,并使小尺寸的 Te 夹杂更小.但由于熟化不充分,在 Ostwald 熟化长大过程中留下了很多尺寸<5μm 的 Te 夹杂颗粒.
