Abstract

A thermodynamic analysis of the vapour phase species occurring in the undoped CdTe and doped CdTe:X (X = Cl, Br, I) systems is given. Calculations are performed using a Gibbs energy minimizer software (EPC), which offers the possibility of receiving relativly prompt results allowing for the change in experimental conditions as well as the consideration of even spurious species.

In each system, the dopant - transporting species are the cadmiumdihalogenides CdX2. Contrary, in the CdTe:I vapour phase two more species (Tel and I) have to be considered at the growing phase boundary afffecting transport and interface kinetics.
