Towards Optimization of ACRT Schedules Applied to the Gradient Freeze Growth of Cadmium Zinc Telluride

Journal Article Divecha, Mia S. ; Derby, Jeffrey J. - Journal of Crystal Growth

Historically, the melt growth of II-VI crystals has benefitted by the application of the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT). Here, we employ a comprehensive numerical model to assess the impact of two ACRT schedules designed for a cadmium zinc telluride growth system per the classical recommendations of Capper and co-workers. The “flow maximizing” ACRT schedule, with higher rotation, effectively mixes the solutal field in the melt but does not reduce supercooling adjacent to the growth interface. The ACRT schedule derived for stable Ekman flow, with lower rotation, proves more effective in reducing supercooling and promoting stable growth. Furthermore, these counterintuitivemore »« less

On crucible effects during the growth of cadmium zinc telluride in an electrodynamic gradient freeze furnace

Journal Article Gasperino, David ; Bliss, Mary ; Jones, Kelly A ; ... - Journal of Crystal Growth, 311(8):2327-2335

The CrysMAS code of the Crystal Growth Laboratory, Fraunhofer IISB, is applied to reveal conditions occurring in electrodynamic gradient freeze furnaces during the growth of cadmium zinc telluride crystals. Of particular interest are heat transfer and growth conditions associated with crucibles of different design, one constructed of graphite and the other of pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). Under identical furnace set-point schedules, the PBN system exhibits very different heat transfer through the cone region of the crucible, resulting in steeper axial thermal profiles and convex solid-interface shapes (rather than the concave shapes computed for the graphite crucible). Both systems exhibit amore »« less

Effects of excess Te on flux inclusion formation in the growth of cadmium zinc telluride when forced melt convection is applied

Journal Article McCoy, Jedidiah J. ; Kakkireni, Saketh ; Gélinas, Guillaume ; ... - Journal of Crystal Growth

The presence of second phase defects, particularly flux inclusions of tellurium rich composition, are of great concern for charge collection efficiency in cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) and cadmium telluride (CT) material intended for applications such as radiation detection. These inclusions can distort applied electric field lines within the detector as well as act as trapping centers for charge carriers. Reduction and/or elimination of these inclusions is required to achieve appropriate charge collection efficiencies, especially in detectors of thicknesses greater than 5 mm. These so-called flux inclusions are understood to form as a consequence of constitutional undercooling at the crystal growthmore »« less
