A time of flight technique was used to study the carrier trapping time, tau, and mobility, mu, in CdZnTe (CZT) and CdTe radiation detectors. Carriers were generated near the surface of the detector by a nitrogen-pumped pulsed dye laser with wavelength similar to 500 nm. Signals from generated electrons or holes were measured by a fast oscilloscope and analyzed to determine the trapping time and mobility of carriers. Electron mobility was observed to change with temperature from 1200 cm(2)/Vs to 2400 cm(2)/Vs between 293 K and 138 K, respectively. Electron mobilities were observed between 900 cm(2)/Vs and 1350 cm(2)/Vs at room temperature for various CZT detectors. Electron mobilities in various CdTe detectors at room temperature were observed between 740 cm(2)/Vs and 1260 cm(2)/Vs. Average electron mobility was calculated to be 1120 cm(2)/Vs and 945 cm(2)/Vs for CZT and CdTe, respectively. Hole mobilities in both CZT and CdTe were found to vary between 27 cm(2)/Vs and 66 cm(2)/Vs. Electron trapping times in CZT at room temperature varied from 1.60 mu s to 4.18 mu s with an average value of about 2.5 mu s. Electron trapping time in CdTe at room temperature varied between 1.7 mu s and 4.15 mu s with an average value of about 3.1 mu s.
