Abstract
The presence of a flat distribution of Gallium in a heteroepitaxial CdTe layer processed on GaAs, is originating from the disturbance of the upper layers of GaAs, due to the high lattice mismatch between CdTe and GaAs. A first order model, which considers the solid-state diffusion and the segregation effects at the outer surface of CdTe as the relevant mechanisms taking place during the process, provides this fairly constant Ga distribution through CdTe, and a step increase at the surface. The magnitude of the Ga density appears as a function of the growth rate and the process temperature. A more elaborated model would account also for the stress relaxation effects in the epilayer, allowing the diffusion constant to vary along CdTe.
