The solid phase part of the Hg-Zn-Te-O equilibrium phase diagram has been estimated from thermodynamic calculations. It was found that, contrary to other A<sup>2</sup>B<sup>6</sup> tellurides, ZnTe possesses a preferable oxidation of metal, leaving elemental tellurium at the native oxide-ZnTe interface. It is shown that, as a result, the electrical properties and thermal stability of the native oxide-Hg<sub>1-x</sub>Zn<sub>x</sub>Te interface are superior to those of the native oxide-Hg<sub>1-x</sub>Cd<sub>x</sub>Te interface. Hence, in terms of the interface properties, Hg<sub>1-x</sub>Zn<sub>x</sub>Te seems to be a better material for infrared device applications. It is also demonstrated that for a semiconductor compound the equilibrium phase diagram qualitatively determines the electrical properties of the native oxide-semiconductor interface. |
