摘要: 生长态的CdZnTe (CZT)晶体中存在大量的本征点缺陷及其相关的复合缺陷,如何获取这些点缺陷信息及其影响至关重要。本文设计CZT晶体高温Cd气氛退火,通过退火时间控制原子扩散程度,进而调控样品点缺陷分布。对于移动加热器法(THM)生长的富碲态CZT,本文运用光生电流瞬态谱(PICTS)、低温光致发光(PL)、I-V测试和α粒子诱导瞬态电荷漂移测试研究了其点缺陷分布与电阻率、载流子迁移率和电荷收集效率等光电特性的关系。点缺陷测试结果表明,生长态样品中TeCd缺陷占主导地位,其浓度为4.47×1013 cm-3,捕获截面为9.34×10-16 cm2。经过24 h的Cd退火后,样品内部的缺陷类型发生变化,Cdi缺陷逐渐成为主导,其浓度达到4.49×1013 cm-3,捕获截面降至5.82×10-19 cm2。电学性能结果表明载流子迁移率、电荷收集效率与CZT点缺陷总浓度有关,内部电场由捕获截面最大的TeCd决定。Cd退火6 h的样品具有高的收集效率、高迁移率(697 cm2·V-1·s-1)和均匀的内部电场分布,但是电阻率较低。Cd原子在扩散过程中优先占据VCd和TeCd的位置,A中心和TeCd浓度呈指数型减少是导致电阻率下降的主要原因。

Abstract: There are a large number of intrinsic point defects and related composite defects in the growing CdZnTe (CZT) crystal. It is crucial to obtain information on these point defects and their effects. This article designs high-temperature Cd atmosphere annealing of CZT crystals, and controls the degree of atomic diffusion through annealing time to regulate the distribution of sample point defects. For Te-rich CZT crystals grown by the traveling heater method (THM), multiple advanced techniques, including photo-induced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS), low-temperature photoluminescence (PL), I-V tests and alpha-induced transient charge analysis, were utilized to investigate the relationship between the point defect distribution and various optoelectronic properties such as resistivity, carrier mobility and charge collection efficiency. The point defect measurement results indicate that TeCd defects dominate in the as-grown sample, with a concentration of 4.47×1013 cm-3 and a capture cross-section of 9.34×10-16 cm2. After 24 h of Cd annealing, the defect distribution changes, and Cdi defects gradually become dominant, reaching a concentration of 4.49×1013 cm-3 with a reduced capture cross-section of 5.82×10-19 cm2. The electrical performance test results indicate that the carrier mobility and charge collection efficiency are related to the total concentration of CZT point defects, the internal electric field is determined by the TeCd with the largest capture cross-section. Samples that were annealed under Cd vapor for 6 h are characterized by high charge collection efficiency, high mobility (697 cm2·V-1·s-1) and uniform internal electric field distribution, though the resistivity is relatively low. During the diffusion process, the positions of VCd and TeCd are preferentially occupied by Cd atoms, leading to an exponential decrease in the concentration of A-centers and TeCd, which is regarded as the main cause for the reduction in resistivity.
