Abstract

We report on electrical and optical properties of vertical Bridgman grown Cl-doped CdTe including the ternary compositions Cd0.9Zn0.1Te and CdTe0 9Se0.1 with respect to application as a radiation detector. Based on Hall effect measurements, photoinduced current spectroscopy (PICTS) and photoluminescence we infer that high resistive material with good performance is controlled by deep level defects. The resistivity is calculated as a function of the shallow acceptor concentration (Cl-A-centers) with the conclusion that a deep donor state at mid gap must be present.
