The Effect of Orientation on the Surface Morphology of Mercury Cadmium Telluride Grown by LPE (Liquid Phase Epitaxy) and VPE ,

Abstract

The influence of substrate orientation on the morphology of liquid phase and vapor phase epitaxial films of mercury cadmium telluride was studied using spherically shaped (111) CdTe and CdZnTe substrates. A smooth terrace-free central region was observed, with terrace formation occurring for misorientations of greater than 0.2 + or - 0.1 from the (111) orientation. The interpretation of these results and the practical implications are discussed.
