The interfaces were formed sequentially by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of the II-VI semiconductors on van der Waals (0001)-surfaces of layered compound single crystals. The II-VI semiconductors grow with their polar hexagonal axis (111 for CdTe, 0001 for CdS) parallel to the non-polar substrate 0001-axis, without evidence for lattice distortions as prooved by TEM and LEED. Band offsets were determined from soft x-ray photoelectron spectra. Large substrate independent interface dipoles of 1.2 eV for CdS and 0.8 eV for CdTe were determined. The deviation of experimental band offsets from the electron affinity rule prediction is described by a simple model which takes the polarity of the grown interfaces into account.
