研究目的
To study the modified surface in the CdTe diode-type X/γ-ray detectors fabricated by the laser-induced doping techniques using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with 650 eV synchrotron radiation.
研究成果
The study successfully revealed the mutual penetration of In dopant atoms into the CdTe and Cd atoms into the deposited In film in the vicinity of the In/CdTe interface for In/CdTe/Au diode structures with a p-n junction formed by laser-assisted doping techniques. The created In/CdTe/Au diodes show promising rectification properties for X/γ-ray detector applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on the surface modification and doping effects in CdTe diode detectors, but the depth of analysis is limited by the XPS technique's sensitivity to very thin layers (a few nm). The effects of laser parameters and doping conditions on the detector performance are not fully explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with 650 eV synchrotron radiation to analyze the modified surface of CdTe diode-type X/γ-ray detectors fabricated by laser-induced doping techniques.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Semi-insulating (111)-oriented p-like CdTe single crystals pre-coated with an In dopant film were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A YAG:Nd laser (λ = 1064 nm) for irradiation, synchrotron radiation source for XPS measurements, and Ar-ion sputtering equipment.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The In/CdTe samples were irradiated by nanosecond laser pulses either from the In side or through the semiconductor. The XPS spectra were measured after each Ar-ion sputtering step.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The distribution of In and Cd atoms and their atomic bonding in the In/CdTe interface were analyzed based on the high resolution In 3d and Cd 3d peaks in the XPS spectra.
