摘要
A model based on the known defect structure of Hg1-xCd(x)Te has been developed for explaining indium diffusion in this semiconductor. Based on a charged-vacancy mechanism, the model qualitatively predicts the correct trends for diffused samples which have been electroplated with indium. The diffusion coefficient predicted by the model has a weak mercury partial pressure dependence but a concentration dependence which increases linearly with the indium concentration. This is in agreement with published experimental results. In addition, the model also qualitatively explains why only a small fraction of the indium is ionized without resorting to the current explanation that the unionized portion is tied up as indium telluride (In2Te3).
