Fig. 2. Effect of isothermal annealing on CZT crystals. (a)~(d) Comparison of infrared transmission imaging of CZT wafer before and after isothermal annealing (wafer/Te source temperature is 500/450 ℃, (b), (c), (d) annealing time is 60, 120, 240 h respectively)[45]; (e) low temperature fluorescence change of CZT wafer with annealing temperature[51]
Fig. 3. Effect of gradient annealing on CZT crystals. (a) “Thermal migration” of Te secondary phase under temperature gradient (700 ℃ annealing for 10 h with a temperature gradient of 45 ℃/cm); (b) voids inside the Te secondary phase of pristine wafer[58];(c) voids inside the Te secondary phase after annealing (Cd source annealing at 700 ℃ for 10 min)[58]
Fig. 4. Effect of step annealing on CZT crystals. Infrared transmission imaging of Te secondary phase before (a) and after (b) step annealing. The first annealing condition is Cd atmosphere, the wafer/source temperature is 700/600 ℃, 24 h, and the second annealing condition is Te atmosphere, the wafer/source temperature is 540/380 ℃, 120 h)[63]; (c) I-V curves of the pristine wafer, the crystal after the first annealing (Cd annealing), and the crystal after the second annealing (Te annealing)[63]
