Abstract

A two-stage technique has been used to grow large diameter Hg 1-xCdxTe crystals (x=0.214) using a pressurized Bridgman (P-Bridgman) method, with a starting charge of x=0.06. The two-stage technique has enabled the growth of large crystalline ingots of HgCdTe 40mm in diameter at the very low growth temperature of 680-720°C. It was shown that the HgCdTe crystal had a homogeneous composition of x=0.214 along the growth direction.
