HgCdTe Fabrication Using Directed Energy Techniques
Abstract
The goal of this research is to produce large-area, thin-film, single crystal HgCdTe material for infrared detectors. This report describes initial results for the evaporation of CdTe onto insulating crystalline substrates (hot wall epitaxy), improvement of the surface morphology by pulsed electron-beam processing, and conversion to HgCdTe by evaporation and diffusion at constant temperature. Improvement in quality over past results and an increase in sample size to 2-inch diameter is expected with upgraded equipment described in this report.
