The effect of hydrogen plasma treatment on the Au–CdZnTe interface

This paper investigates the hydrogen plasma treatment effects on the interface of Au/CdZnTe contact. Hydrogen plasma with high energy is the smallest and lightest atomic mass, which is easy to enter into the crystal surface to fill the vacancy defects. The Au/CdZnTe samples were treated by the microwave hydrogen plasma with the power of 60 W (average power density of 0.5 W/cm²) and the frequency of 13.6 MHz under different treatment times. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), current–voltage (I–V) and adhesion strength measurement were performed to analyze the interface properties of Au/CdZnTe before and after the hydrogen plasma treatment. The results show that the hydrogen plasma treatment can reduce the surface leakage current, decrease the point defects and improve the performance of the electrode contacts.

Highlights

► The Au/CZT samples were treated by the microwave hydrogen plasma.

► The hydrogen plasma treatment of Au/CZT for 4–8 min improved the contact performance.

► After the hydrogen plasma treatment over 16 min, the properties of Au/CZT grow worse.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.

At room temperature, crystalline germanium is brittle and has little plasticity. Germanium has semiconductor properties. High-purity germanium is doped with trivalent elements (such as indium, gallium, boron) to obtain P-type germanium semiconductors; and pentavalent elements (such as antimony, arsenic, and phosphorus) are doped to obtain N-type germanium semiconductors. Germanium has good semiconductor properties, such as high electron mobility and high hole mobility.
