Popis: High-temperature (470-1170 K) properties of CdTe:P single crystals, grown by Bridgman technique, with an initial concentration of impurities in the melt 1×1019 at/cm3, were investigated by measuring of the Hall effect. Experimental results indicate that up to the temperature of ~700 K samples had p-type conductivity and above ~940 K – n-type one. Character of isothermal dependences of Hall constant strongly differs from the dependence of the undoped material due to the influence of impurities. Acceptor effect of phosphorus is observed up to 1170 K, it shows a high content of acceptor impurity form (PTe). The low-temperature electric measurements data confirm the fact of phosphorus high solubility in CdTe. The results of IR microscopy indicate that the introduction of phosphorus into CdTe crystal resulted in almost complete elimination of second phase inclusions with size ≥1 μm, which are usually present in such material.
