Size and distribution of Te inclusions in THM as-grown CZT wafers: The effect of the rate of crystal cooling

► THM growth of CdZnTe and Te inclusion/precipitates mapping was carried out. ► Mapping of Te inclusions/precipitates of as-grown CZT by THM, for the first time. ► The size, distribution, and concentrations were less/comparable to the commercial CZT. ► Effect of the rate of cooling on concentration of Te inclusions/precipitates was studied.
