Abstract

Heteroepitaxial (100)CdTe || (100)InSb structures have been fabricated by growing CdTe epilayers, at growth temperatures below 200°C, on single crystal InSb substrates by low-energy bias sputtering. Controlled low-energy ion bombardment at the substrate was employed to clean the growth surface in-situ just prior to film deposition and to modify the growth kinetics and enhance adatom mobility during deposition. Raman spectroscopy of the interface revealed no evidence of In2Te3 and secondary ion mass spectroscopy showed the interface to be chemically abrupt.
