Abstract
Thermodynamic analysis is used to identify the possible chemical reactions of CdTe and ZnTe with the container material and gaseous atmosphere during Bridgman growth. Thermodynamic parameters of carbide and oxycarbide formation in the growth system are evaluated. The calculation results are consistent with the well-known fact that oxygen-containing impurities can be removed from the growth charge by calcination in hydrogen. Moreover, as shown in experiment, the removal of oxygen from the charge ensures a substantial decrease in the carbon content of the crystals.
