Abstract

Silver diffusion in Cd_xHg_1-xTe was investigated as a function of Fermi level position and of mercury content. Silver diffusion increases with increasing mercury content and hole concentration. While in CdTe Ag diffusion at 200°C dopes n-type, in Cd_xHg_1-xTe with x = 0.55-0.8, Ag diffusion below 125°C dopes p-type. We explain these findings by silver-mercury complex formation.
