Characterization of CdZnTe after argon ion beam bombardment

The objective of this work is to analyze the effects of argon ion irradiation process on the structure and distribution of Te inclusions in Cd _1-xZn_x Te crystals. The samples were treated with different ion fluences ranging from 2 to 8 × 10¹⁷ cm⁻². The state of the samples before and after irradiation were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Cathodoluminescence, Photoluminescence, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The effect of the irradiation on the surface of the samples was clearly observed by SEM or AFM. Even for small fluences a removal of polishing scratches on the sample surfaces was observed. Likely correlated to this effect, an important enhancement in the luminescence intensity of the irradiated samples was observed. An aggregation effect of the Te inclusions seems to occur due to the Ar bombardment, which are also eliminated from the surfaces for the highest ion fluences used.

Highlights

► After argon irradiation using low fluence, the defects on surface were removed.

► The PL intensity increases after irradiation. This increase should be related to the improved quality of the CdZnTe surfaces.

► Irradiation process lead to an elimination of Te precipitates from the surfaces of the CdZnTe samples.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.
