The calculation of the critical thickness of the pseudomorphic layer and the mechanical stresses of HgTe on (013) HgxCd1-xTe substrates at growth temperatures of 120, 150 and 180oC for two dislocation sliding systems was carried out. It was found that the critical thickness of HgTe varies from 40-60 to 1200-1800 nm with a change in x from 0 to 0.9. Mechanical stresses due to the mismatch of the lattice parameters of the HgTe/HgxCd1-xTe heteroparticle vary in the range from 6 to 125 MPa with a change in x and weakly depend on temperature. Mechanical stresses during cooling due to the discrepancy between the coefficients of thermal expansion ranged from -1 to -7 MPa. These results make it possible to predict mechanical stresses in various instrument structures based on the HgTe/HgxCd1-xTe heteropair. Keywords: critical thickness, stresses, composition, HgTe, HgxCd1-xTe, lattice parameter, coefficient of thermal expansion.
