Gj. Rosen et al., MONITORING VERTICAL BRIDGMAN-STOCKBARGER GROWTH OF CADMIUM TELLURIDE BY AN EDDY-CURRENT TECHNIQUE, Journal of electronic materials, 24(5), 1995, pp. 491-495
The electric conductivity of indium-doped cadmium telluride (CdTe) in
the temperature range 600-1080 degrees C was 163 to 1203 Omega(-1)m(-1
). In-situ monitoring of vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger growth showed a
n unexpected step change in the voltage response vs height. Differenti
al thermal analysis of CdTe showed both Cd and. Te melting peaks as we
ll as an exothermic reaction above 790 degrees C.
