Abstract

1498459 SiC; CdTe; PbSnTe; HgCdTe PHIZICHE INST IM P N LEBEDEVA AKAD NAUK SSSR 23 Dec 1975 52701/75 Heading C1A [Also in Division H1] An epitaxial film is grown on a substrate 12 by vapour phase epitaxy, by exposing the substrate 12 to a luminous flux which provides a light intensity of 10-10<SP>4</SP> w/cm<SP>2</SP> on the substrate 12 to clean its surface and heat it to a critical epitaxy temperature (about 0À7 of the substrate melting point), and supplying a source material in gas form to the substrate 12 while it is irradiated. The substrate 12 is supported in a quartz chamber which is flushed with a neutral or reducing agent, by a movable support 25 which, in one extreme position, divides the chamber into two sealed spaces I, II, the space I containing source material 26 to be vapourized and the space II communicating with a coolant source 32 which cools the unexposed surface of the substrate 12 to establish a thermal gradient across it. The apparatus also includes a thermocouple well 27 and one or more Knudsen cells 28 containing a volatile element 29 for adjusting the composition of the grown film. The semi-conductor materials may be A 2 B 6 or A 4 B 6 compounds such as CdTe, PbSnTe, HgCdTe or SiC, the dopants may be In, Cl or Bi, and the substrate may be sapphire or spinel. A method of fusing on a Au-Sb electrode is described.
