Abstract

Room-temperature electric investigations carried out in CO2-laser irradiated ZnCdHgTe epifilms revealed current-voltage and capacitance-voltage dependencies typical for the metal-semiconductor barrier structure. The epilayer surface studies had demonstrated that the cell-like relief has replaced the initial tessellated structure observed on the as-grown samples. The detailed numerical analysis of the experimental measurements and morphological investigations of the film surface showed that the boundaries of the cells formed under the laser irradiation are appeared as the regions of accumulation of derived charged defects of different type of conductivity supplying free charge carriers under the applied electric field.
