High Mobility 2D Electron Gas in CdTe/CdMgTe Heterostructures

Abstract

We report on iodine doping of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown Cd(Mn)Te quasi-bulk films and modulation-doped CdTe/Cd$\text{}_{1-y}$Mg$\text{}_{y}$Te two-dimensional (2D) single quantum well structures. Modulation doping with iodine of CdTe/Cd$\text{}_{1-y}$Mg$\text{}_{y}$Te structures resulted in fabrication of a 2D electron gas with mobility exceeding 10$\text{}^{5}$ cm$\text{}^{2}$/(V s). This is the highest mobility reported in wide-gap II-VI materials
