SPIE PY 2002 BP 121 EP 128 VL 4795 DE HgCdTe/CdTe; detector AB II-VI intrinsic very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR, λ[sub:c]~20 to 50 μm) materials, HgCdTe alloys as well as HgCdTe/CdTe superlattices, were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The layers were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, conventional Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Hall effect measurements and transmittance electron microscopy (TEM). Photoconductor devices were processed and their spectral response was also measured to demonstrate their applicability in the VLWIR region. ER
