摘要
V and Ga doped CdTe single crystals with one inch diameter were grown without wall contact in a semi-closed vapour phase system (modified Markov method). By vapour transport modelling, we demonstrate that volatile impurities and excess species are enabled to condense in a heal sink connected to the growth chamber. Vapour composition and component fluxes are controlled by the temperature profile, in particular by the sink temperature. The grown crystals exhibit pronounced {111}, {110} and {100} facetting. The influence of the deep heat sink on interface stability is discussed in terms of growth morphology and formation of inclusions. Piezobirefringence measurements indicate nearly stress-free growth. The resistivities of the grown crystals are up to 3 x 10(9) Omega.cm.
