摘要
We report on the n-type doping of CdTe and CdMnTe with bromine as a novel dopant material. The thin films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. ZnBr2 was used as a source material for the n-type doping. Free carrier concentrations at room temperature of up to 2.8 X 10(18) cm-3 could be readily obtained for both CdTe as well as CdMnTe thin films with Mn concentrations below 10%. This is to our knowledge the highest value ever obtained for the dilute magnetic semiconductor CdMnTe. For ZnBr2 source temperatures up to 60-degrees-C - corresponding to a free carrier concentration of (2-3) X 10(18) cm-3 - the free carrier concentration of the epitaxial films increases with ZnBr2 source temperature. For higher ZnBr2 source temperatures compensation becomes dominant, which is indicated by a steep decrease of the free carrier concentration with increasing ZnBr2 source temperature. In addition the carrier mobility decreases drastically for such high dopant fluxes. A model of bromine incorporation is proposed.
