Abstract
ZnTe homoepitaxial layers on (100)
oriented ZnTe substrates were fabricated at different reactor pressures and their
photoluminescence (PL) spectra and X ray rocking curve (XRC) were measured. The measurement results show that
reducing reactor pressure leads to the enhancement of the free excitonic emissions relative to the impurity related
emissions and the decrease of XRC linewidth. This indicates that both the PL property and the crystallinity for the ZnTe
epilayer are significantly improved with reducing reactor pressure during growth..
