Abstract

The effect of the heat treatment of n-CdTe single-crystal substrates in different environments on the surface recombination velocity v s is investigated. It is established that the surface recombination velocity of substrates annealed in air is two orders of magnitude smaller than the v s of chemically polished samples.
