Abstract
Mercury has been implanted in CdTe single crystals at room temperature and the damaging process studied by Rutherford backscattering (RBS) o f He particles in channeling conditions for increasing fluences. Altho ugh the energy deposited in nuclear collisions is large due to the hea vy mass of the implanted ion, the disordering mechanism is similar to the one observed during light ion implantation. Hence, disordering is mainly governed by CdTe characteristics rather than by nuclear collisi on parameters. The furnace annealing behavior at different temperature s has been followed. For T = 400-degrees-C during 2 hours a total dama ge recovery as characterized by RBS is reached.
