Abstract
Different concentrations of Br2-MeOH were used for the chemical polishing of CdZnTe(CZT) surface. It was found that the CZT wafer in 2% Br2-MeOH had a stationary erosion rate and could be easily controlled. The surface scratches were removed and a shiny surface was obtained. Through AFM analysis, it was proved that the chemical polishing could reduce the surface roughness about 30%. XPS analysis found that the (111) Cd polar face became the nonpolar Te rich surface after the chemical polishing. PL analysis showed that the chemical polishing could reduce the surface trap state density and improve the perfection of surface lattice.
