ABSTRACT:
A P-type substrate for infrared photo diodes can be produced by the present invention. A CdZnTe substrate is utilized. A first layer of HgCdTe is formed by liquid phase epitaxy on the substrate. A CdTe passivation layer is formed over the HgCdTe. A ZnS layer is formed over the CdTe layer. A noble metal is introduced into either the CdTe or ZnS layers. During a subsequent baking of the composite, the noble metal diffuses throughout the composite and into the HgCdTe layer.
