Product overview
The Horizontal Liquid Phase Epitaxy Furnace is a dedicated piece of process equipment built for the liquid phase epitaxial growth of HgCdTe thin films. Built around a horizontal layout, it integrates precision temperature control, high-vacuum integration, and stable motion control to deliver a reliable, repeatable platform for growing high-quality HgCdTe layers-an essential tool for labs and production lines working in advanced optoelectronic materials.
Advantages
Precise temperature control: The system features a uniform constant-temperature zone with tight stability, maintaining temperature control within ±0.5°C to ensure consistent film growth across runs and substrates.
Low-contamination motion design: Using a suspension bearing structure, the system achieves nearly frictionless movement, greatly reducing particulate generation and helping preserve a clean growth environment.
High-precision boat-pulling epitaxy: The pulling boat-pulling mechanism delivers reliable positional accuracy, supporting fine control over growth profiles and helping produce films with uniform thickness and stable material properties.
Strong vacuum performance: The reaction chamber achieves an ultimate vacuum level of ≤1.0×10⁻³ Pa, minimizing impurity interference and supporting the deposition of high-purity HgCdTe layers.
Applications
This furnace is primarily used for the development and manufacturing of HgCdTe thin films, with key applications including:
Infrared detector fabrication: HgCdTe films grown in this system serve as core materials for high-performance infrared detectors used in military imaging, aerospace remote sensing, and thermal monitoring systems.
Optoelectronic R&D: It provides a stable experimental platform for universities and research institutions studying liquid phase epitaxy mechanisms, material optimization, and device-level performance improvements.
Semiconductor optoelectronic devices: Supports the production of critical components in optical communication, photoelectric sensing, and related semiconductor device development.
Broad process temperature range: With operating temperatures up to 800°C and 1100°C, the furnace can adapt to different HgCdTe growth recipes and process conditions, improving flexibility for R&D and small-batch production.
