R. Triboulet et al., SOLID-STATE RECRYSTALLIZATION OF II-VI SEMICONDUCTORS - APPLICATION TO CADMIUM TELLURIDE, CADMIUM SELENIDE AND ZINC SELENIDE, Journal de physique. IV, 5(C3), 1995, pp. 141-149
Solid state recrystallization (SSR) has been very rarely used for semi
conductors. It has nevertheless been proposed, and industrially used,
for the single crystal growth of cadmium mercury telluride according t
o a quench-anneal process. The reasons of the interest of this process
, in specific cases of II-VI semiconductors crystal growth, will be an
alyzed (particular phase diagrams, phase transitions in the solid stat
e close to the melting point, high temperature contaminations.. etc..
make the use of traditional melt growth techniques unfavourable) and i
llustrated refering to CdHgTe literature. Original results related to
the binary compounds CdTe, CdSe and ZnSe will be presented.
