Abstract:

The influence of different passivation time and annealing on the surface morphology, electrical properties and composition of CdZnTe is studied via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), current-voltage (I-V) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The result shows that the optimum passivation time for two-step passivation method is 30 minutes, and the leakage current is close to the minimum. After the wafers are annealed for 60 minutes at 100 ℃, metallography and SEM show that the surface morphology after heat treatment is to a more considerable degree in uniformity and density. XPS depth analysis shows that chemical reaction intermediate decomposition is relatively complete and that TeO2 content is increased. I-V test shows that the leakage current is reduced, which effectively improves the detector's performance.

Key words: CdZnTe, passivation, leakage current, composition, annealing
