Abstract: The realization of low resistivity and stable contacts on p-type CdTe is still challenging, especially if high annealing temperatures must be avoided. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of Sb/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ contacts on p-type CdTe single crystals are studied. It is found that the resistivity of the contacts is low and constant with time.
