“…Before passivation, the surface of Cd 1Àx Zn x Te is etched by 2% bromine-20% lactic acid in ethylene glycol solutions as reported previously [6] in order to reduce the surface trap state due to various defects such as dangling bonds or impurities in the surface. In principle, surface passivation technologies include deposited dielectric materials (ZnS, SiO 2 ), the native films (oxides, sulphides, fluorides), and in situ grown heterostructures where a wider band gap II-VI compound is used for passivation [7][8][9]. In this article, the low temperature photoluminescence of ZnS/CdZnTe structure with the variation of ZnS thickness are studied for the optical property of ZnS thickness for the passivation.…”
