Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable machining of a mirror surface having excellent flatness and to improve workability, by a method wherein a soft metal is used as a lap material, and combination of water soluble diamond grinding grain and grinding cloth is used as a polishing condition. CONSTITUTION:An HgCdTe crystal material is cut to form a wafer with a thickness of 1.0mm. A cut strain layer and an uneven shape in the two surfaces of the wafer are removed about 100mum thick by lapping to form a flat aventurine surface having surface coarseness of 1mum. Lapping is performed under a pressure of 100g/cm<2> for about 20min by the use of a lapping agent, prepared by mixing SiC grinding grain with a grain size of 5mum and water in a ratio of 1:5, and an Sn plate. Surface coarseness and machining distortion, caused by lapping, is polished by means of a polishing agent, prepared by mixing water soluble diamond grinding grain with a grain size of 1mum and pure water in a ratio of 1:50, and a grinding cloth to remove the coarseness and machining distortion in thickness of about 10mum. The polishing surface is finished to produced a smooth mirror surface with shape precision having flatness of 3mum or less and surface coarseness of 0.01mum or less.

In order to use the HgCdTe crystal as an infrared detection element, it must have a width of 60 μm, a length of 800 μm, and a thickness of 101 μm, for example.
It is required to form a thin plate of around tm and process the surface into a flat, undistorted mirror surface so as not to interfere with the incidence of infrared rays. Generally, distortion-free mirror finishing of crystalline materials is performed by lapping or polishing to create a mirror surface, and then etching to obtain a distortion-free surface.
A similar method is used in the case of HgCdTe, and a mixed solution of bromine and methanol is used for etching.

However, mirror finishing in this case has not been fully investigated because the HgCdTe crystal itself has only recently been artificially developed, and the elements that make up the crystal are all hazardous substances, making it difficult to handle them. Not done.
