CdTe crystals grown by the Traveling Heater Method (THM) often show a pronounced non-uniformity along the ingots due to the thermal irregularities, the Te-excess growth conditions resulting from the retrograde slope of the solidus line of the phase diagram, and to the introduced impurities. In addition, structural defects can be present that affect the electrical and optical properties of the crystals. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract
CdTe crystals grown by the Traveling Heater Method (THM) often show a pronounced non-uniformity along the ingots due to the thermal irregularities, the Te-excess growth conditions resulting from the retrograde slope of the solidus line of the phase diagram, and to the introduced impurities. In addition, structural defects can be present that affect the electrical and optical properties of the crystals. © 2011 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
