Popis: The electric effects of implantation of boron into p-type MZT (mercury zinc telluride) has been evaluated using Hall effect data. The data show that boron implantation, without damage annealing, produces an n-type layer in MZT. This behavior appears to be related to implantation damage as this also happens in other II–VI compounds, such as MCT (mercury cadmium telluride). In MZT, a freeze-out of majority carriers is observed in the implanted layer with a characteristic activation energy E A ≈ 10 meV. This effect has not been found in MCT.
