Abstract

Large-area high-quality Hg 1-x Cd x Te sensing layers for infrared imaging in the 8 μm to 12 μm spectral region are typically grown on bulk Cd 1-x Zn x Te substrates. Alternatively, epitaxial CdTe grown on Si or Ge has been used as a buffer layer for high-quality epitaxial HgCdTe growth. In this paper, x-ray topographs and rocking-curve full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) data will be presented for recent high-quality bulk CdZnTe grown by the vertical gradient freeze (VGF) method, previous bulk CdZnTe grown by the vertical Bridgman technique, epitaxial CdTe buffer layers on Si and Ge, and a HgCdTe layer epitaxially grown on bulk VGF CdZnTe.
