Telluride Chamber

Description

Used for the growth of Te-based device structures for infrared imaging applications. II-VI based compound semiconductors also are being considered for a new generation of high-efficiency photovoltaic solar cells and thermoelectric devices. Infrared focal plane arrays, and the “night vision” cameras they enable, are the “eyes” that allow firefighters to see through smoke, pilots to avoid obscured visibility accidents, and soldiers to “own the night.”  Current sources include CdAs, Te, Mg, Sb, CdTe, Cd, Zn, and Se effusion cells.  This chamber shares a Hydrogen surface cleaning chamber.
