Abstract

See full text

A layer (32) of a HgCdTe compound epitaxially contacts a buffer structure, which in turn epitaxially contacts a silicon substrate (22). The buffer structure is formed of II-VI compounds, and preferably includes at least one layer (24) of a ZnSeTe compound epitaxially contacting the silicon substrate (22) and a layer (30) of a CdZnTe compound overlying the ZnSeTe compound layer (24). The ZnSeTe compound layer (24) may be provided as a single graded layer having a composition of ZnSe adjacent to the silicon and a composition of ZnTe remote from the silicon, or as two distinct sublayers with a ZnSe sublayer (26) adjacent to the silicon substrate (22) and a ZnTe sublayer (28) remote from the silicon substrate (22).
