Issues in the growth of bulk crystals of infrared materialsAttention is given to the relevant criteria governing materials choice in the growth of IR optoelectronic bulk single crystals of III-V and II-VI alloy and I-III-VI2 compound types. The most important considerations concern the control of crystal purity, microstructural perfection, stoichiometry, and uniformity during crystal growth, as well as the control of surface properties in wafer fabrication. Specific examples are given to illustrate the problems encountered and their preferred solutions.
