Annotation To purify Cd0,95Mn0,05Te ingots a modified travelling heater method (called «dry zone») was applied. Even one pass of the zone decreased essentially Te inclusions (size and density) in the ingot. The p-type conductivity and others electrical characteristics of the material almost didn’t change, however the concentration of shallow (А ≈ 0.05 еV) acceptors reduced and the compensation degree of deeper acceptors (А ≈ 0.17 еV) increased. Such transformation of a defect-impurity system was manifested in decreasing of the ionized centers’ concentration and in reducing of impurities absorption coefficients both at 0.1-0.5 eV and near the edge of fundamental band.
