METHOD FOR PRODUCING GROUP II-VI COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR, METHOD FOR PRODUCING GROUP II-VI COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR PHOSPHOR, AND HEXAGONAL GROUP II-VI COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide a method for the stable production of a high-purity Group II-VI compound semiconductor on an industrial scale, and also a hexagonal crystal of Group II-VI compound semiconductor in which a metal can be doped easily. Another object of the invention is to provide a method of producing a Group II-VI compound semiconductor phosphor. The objects are achieved by a method of producing a Group II-VI compound semiconductor comprising generating a pulsed electrical discharge plasma between metallic electrodes in sulfur to produce a Group II-VI compound semiconductor; a method of producing a Group II-VI compound semiconductor phosphor using a pulsed electrical discharge plasma; and a hexagonal crystal of Group II-VI compound semiconductor composed of a plurality of twin crystals.
