Abstract
DC-measurements of SCLC of high resistivity Cl-compensated p-type crystals of CdTe have been performed in the temperature range of 230–300 K. The evaluation of voltage-current characteristics by means of a simple model with discrete trap levels led to activation energies of approx. 0·65 and 0·4 eV above the valence band and trap concentrations of the order 1011 to 1012 cm−3.
