Abstract

The cadmium mercury telluride solid solution is one of the most important infrared photoelectronic materials in the world. In obtaining this compound, molecular beam epitaxy has a number of advantages over other methods. At the same time, this solid solution is quite demanding on the pre-growth processing of substrates. In this study, the polishing processes are the primary development in mastering the production of cadmium mercury telluride (211) wafers. A roughness value of ~1 nm is obtained.
