OSTI ID:6907111

The present conference discusses epitaxial semiconductor structures for the IR, materials requirements for IR detectors and imagers, HgCdTe for LWIR imagers and heterojunction devices, epitaxial IV-VI semiconductor films, the growth of bulk IR sensor-material crystals, structure-property relationships in semiconductor alloys, high quality growth of CdTe by the gradient-freeze method, the electronic properties and vacancy-formation energies of HgCdTe vs HgZnTe, and the structure of hydrogenated amorphous carbon IR coatings. Also discussed are tailored microstructures for IR detection, the X-ray characterization of IR materials, subsurface microlattice strain mapping, deep-level defects in CdTe, the MBE HgTe growth process, interdiffused multilayer processing in alloy growth, HgTe-CdTe superlattices grown by photo-MOCVD, InSb in IR detector applications, and CdTe films grown on InSb substrates by organometallic epitaxy.
