Abstract
A novel structure, which is both a lattice-matched heterostructure and a Schottky barrier, is fabricated by epitaxial growth of (111) oriented HgSe on (0001) oriented CdSe. Hydrogen transport CVD is used, with a HgSe source temperature of 420°C and a CdSe substrate temperature of 330°C. Single crystal growth was obtained. Of the two orientations possible for the crystal symmetries involved, only one was observed for a given specimen. The ''Schottky barrier'' height for this lattice-matched heterostructure is 0.73±0.02 eV as measured by the photoresponse method. This uncertainty is substantially less than is usual for Schottkies. The magnitude is greater by about one-quarter volt than is achievable with the most electronegative elemental metal, Au, in qualitative agreement with work function arguments.
