Abstract

Vapor pressure control technology is successfully applied to the bulk crystal growth, epitaxial growth and diffusion process of ZnSe crystals. Surface morphology and the crystal quality are investigated by the optical microscope and the X-ray double crystal diffractometry as the function of the growth temperature and the applying Zn vapor pressure. The cathode luminescence is also measured to evaluate the optical properties and the effect of low temperature growth and the application of Zn vapor pressure are demonstrated, p-type ZnSe crystals are grown from the Se solution with group Ia element as a dopant under controlled Zn vapor pressure, p-n junction diodes are also prepared by the Ga diffusion from Zn solution under Se vapor pressure. Emission spectra from the p-n junction and its Zn and Se vapor pressure dependencies are also presented.
