Abstract
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) was used to characterize the surface state of clean CdZnTe (1 1 0) surface. The surface state of CdZnTe with the peak at 0.9 eV below the Fermi level is identified. Meanwhile, Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum confirmed that there existed a surface trap state which introduced a deep-level peak at 1.510 eV. The surface trap states can be decreased by aging in dry-air. The surface leakage current was measured also by I-V measurements. After aging, the leakage current was decreased remarkably, which suggested that the aging treatment is an effective method to decrease the surface trap state.
