Phase I

Contract Number: HQ0860-22-C-7043
Start Date: 12/6/2021    Completed: 6/5/2022
Phase I year
2022
Phase I Amount
$149,990
This proposal seeks to develop an innovative process for growth of CdZnTe crystal boules with properties that match the stringent requirements of CdZnTe substrates for LWIR mercury cadmium telluride detectors, leveraging significant expertise of the proposing team in crystal growth of CdZnTe. The Phase I of this program will focus on the design and performance evaluation of the growth system. The proposed system will be fabricated in Phase II and grown crystals will be submitted for evaluation. Approved for Public Release | 21-MDA-11013 (19 Nov 21)
