The crystalline perfection of bulk CdTe substrates plays an important role in their use in infrared device technology. The application of chemical etchants to determine crystal polarity or the density and distribution of crystallographic defects in (100) CdTe is not well understood. The lack of data on (100) CdTe surfaces is a result of the apparent difficulty in growing (100) CdTe single crystal substrates which is caused by a high incidence of twinning. Many etchants have been reported to predict polarity on one or both (111) CdTe planes but are considered to be unsuitable as defect etchants. An etchant reported recently has been considered to be a true defect etchant for CdTe, MCT and CdZnTe substrates. This etchant has been reported to reveal crystalline defects such as dislocations, grain boundaries and inclusions in (110) and (111) CdTe. In this study the effect of this new etchant on (100) CdTe surfaces is investigated.The single crystals used in this study were (100) CdTe as-cut slices (1mm thickness) from Bridgman-grown ingots.

AbstractTin(II) ethylene glycolate is prepared from freshly precipitated “tin(II)-hydroxide” on heating in ethylene glycol under reflux. The colourless single crystals, slightly distorted cubes, exhibit rhombohedral symmetry (R3̄-C3i2, ah = 1547.7 pm, cn= 871.6 pm, Z = 18). The structure is a 3-dimensional networks of linked tin(II) ethylene glycol chelates.

We report on the (electro) chemical etching behavior, surface morphology and composition of n-type Ge (100) in acidic halide solutions using various analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The use of an integrated (electro) chemical etching chamber connected to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument to exclude the effect of oxygen from atmosphere is highlighted.
