Summarize of the HgCdTe Material Growth and the Infrared Detector

It is more than forty years since it was reported first, the application of HgCdTe in the field of the infrared has made great progress, and it becomes one of the most important semiconductor in the world. At first, the HgCdTe infrared detector was manufactured by the block material, then became the thin film, adopt different thin film technology and detector structures, the performance of the detector has been greatly improved. Now it covers all over the three bands in infrared ray and becomes the most widely used infrared detector.
