Abstract

The focus of this paper is to evaluate thick, 20 X 20 X 10 and 10 X 10 X 10 mm(3), cadmium zinc telluride (CZT), Cd0.9Zn0.1Te, crystals grown using the traveling heater method (THIM). The phenomenal spectral performance and small size and low concentration of Te inclusions/precipitates of these crystals indicate that the THM is suitable for the mass production of CZT radiation detectors that can be used in a variety of applications. Our result also proves that with careful material selection using IR and high-quality fabrication processes, the theoretical energy resolution limit can be achieved.
