ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for performing liquid phase epitaxy, mercury containment, substrate leveling, in situ annealing/doping and gas flushing in a liquid phase epitaxy growth of HgCdTe. The apparatus is a self contained unit comprising a transparent cover for providing access to the interior of the apparatus and for forming a gas impermeable seal between the apparatus and the cover. The apparatus also contains a leveling apparatus, a gas flushing apparatus, and an apparatus for the in situ doping/quench annealing of HgCdTe epitaxial films. The leveling apparatus comprising channels and leveling balls that travel therein which align themselves between scribe marks when the apparatus is in a level position. The gas flushing apparatus is comprised of a gaseous purge ball valve that opens and seals a flushing channel that lead from the interior of the invention to the external environment. The in situ doping/quench annealing apparatus is accomplished via a stabilized chamber ball valve which operates independently with respect to the gaseous purge ball valve, thereby allowing in situ doping leveling without effecting the atmospheric integrity of the vessel.
