Large Plate CdTe Synthesis by Sealed Vessel Transport

Abstract

The fifth quarterly Technical Report for the program to grow large plates of high purity CdTe in a sealed system covers the period Jan. 1. - March 31, 1983. last quarter, difficulties in applying the three zone growth process to 8 diameter plates were described. The major difficulty was plugging of the filters between the chambers. This quarter, the problem was solved by changing the order in which the elements were transferred. The process was used to prepare large grain plates four times in a row. Optical evaluation indicates high purity material. Evaluation as a substrate material is underway in other laboratories. Next quarter, a 10 diameter plate will be prepared.
