Abstract:
Au -doped Hg1-xCdxTe crystals were grown by vapor phase epitaxial method. The optical properties of Hg1-xCdxTe crystals were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, the surface of Hg1-xCdxTe epitaxial materials were observed by metallographic microscopy. Based on traditional photovoltaic technique, the shot-wavelength detectors were made by Au-doped Hg1-xCdxTe film materials. Performances of the detectors were favorable. The background-limited detective was 4.67E+11/(cmHz1/2W-1).
