Improving CdMnTe Detector Performance by Adding 2% of Selenium
About 2% of selenium was added to CdMnTe (CMT) to reveal the role of selenium in CMT material used as a gamma-ray detector. The average etch-pit density (EPD) in a typical 2-in CdMnTeSe (CMTS) wafer was measured to be about 8.3×10 3 cm –2 except for the edge regions, and the radial nonuniformity of the bandgap along the wafer was about 2-meV. The typical mobility-lifetime product of electrons and holes was evaluated to be 3.06×10 –3 cm 2 /V and 3.1×10 –4 cm 2 /V, respectively. The energy resolution of the 122-keV photo-peak for a Co-57 radioactive source with a planar CMTS detector was 5.2%, demonstrating a positive effect associated with adding dilute amounts of Se to CMT. Finally, the enhanced detector performance in a planar CMTS detector is attributed to an improved value of hole mobility-lifetime product in CMTS, which mitigates the adverse hole tailing effect found in CdZnTe (CZT) and CMT detectors.

Photoluminescence of CdTe and CdZnTe compounds doped with 2% selenium
The addition of 2 % of selenium in CdTe and CdZnTe (CZT) exhibited an additional acceptor-bound exciton in photoluminescence (PL). From the PL and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP/MS) analyses, the additional acceptor-bound exciton emission is associated with a Cu impurity in the relatively low-purity (5N) precursor CdSe starting material. Additionally, thermal quenching of the acceptor/donor bound exciton emissions do not require a shift to any higher excited states or to the free exciton state. ICP/MS analysis also showed a higher concentration of Sn in CdZnTeSe (CZTS) compared to CdTe and CZT which is known to form a deep level trap at around E C – 0.83 eV. The trapping and de-trapping times indicate that the Sn-related deep trap acts as an electron trapping center. The relatively low electron mobility-lifetime product of CZTS might be correlated with the concentration of Sn in the impure CdSe material. Pulse height spectra using an Eu-152 gamma-ray source was taken for a 2-mm-thick planar CZTS detector. The spectra clearly showed all the expected gamma peaks with energy lower than 344.3 keV.
