ZnTe films have been grown on GaAs substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. High-resolution synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy measurements are used to determine the valence band offset of ZnTe/GaAs heterojunctions. Based on the binding energies of Zn 3d and Ga 3d core levels and valence band maximum values, the valence band offset has been determined to be 0.19 eV for ZnTe/GaAs heterojunction. The heterojunction shows type I band configuration with a conduction band offset of 0.65 eV. The accurate determination of the band alignment of ZnTe/GaAs heterojunction facilitates the design of optical and electronic devices based on ZnTe/GaAs structure.
