Defect levels and self-compensation in iodine-doped CdTe single crystals

This study systematically documents defect levels in n-type iodine-doped cadmium telluride (CdTe:I) crystals as measured by thermoelectric effect spectroscopy, Hall-effect measurements, and photoluminescence and calculated by density functional theory. The primary donor, I Te , was identified with an activation energy of ∼0.05 eV (measured)/∼0.13 eV (calculated). Deep acceptor states, V Cd and I Te –V Cd complex, exhibited activation energies of ∼0.1 eV (measured)/∼0.19 eV (calculated) and ∼0.12 eV (measured)/∼0.24 eV (calculated), respectively. Self-compensation and Fermi level pinning were observed at ∼0.7 eV (measured)/∼1.08 eV (calculated), contributing to high resistivity in as-grown samples. Post-growth Cd annealing effectively removes compensation centers, releases iodine donors, and significantly reduces resistivity, resulting in an ideal n-type solar cell material.
