ABSTRACT:
Since a ZnTe-base compound semiconductor crystal was designed so as to have, on a ZnTe-base compound semiconductor layer, an n-type contact layer which includes a superlattice layer having n-type CdSe and n-type ZnTe grown with each other or a ZnCdSeTe-graded layer, it was made possible to raise carrier concentration of the n-type contact layer, and to control the conductivity type in a relatively easy manner.Moreover, formation of a CdSe/ZnTe superlattice layer or a ZnCdSeTe-graded layer between the contact layer and an electrode can prevent electric resistance from being increased due to difference in the energy gaps. Since CdSe and ZnTe, composing the CdSe/ZnTe superlattice or ZnCdSeTe composition-graded layer, have relatively close lattice constants, formation thereof is less likely to adversely affect the crystallinity of the semiconductor crystal, which is advantageous in obtaining the semiconductor crystal with an excellent quality.
