Research abstract
This proposal seeks to develop an process for reducing defects and impurities in CdZnTe substrates for use in fabrication of LWIR mercury cadmium telluride detectors. The Phase I of this program will focus on identification of optimal processing parameters. The Phase II of this effort will include implementation of Phase I findings in a commercial equipment and establishing the effect of the developed process on the performance of MCT detectors.
