Selective etching is an express method to identify the defects of crystal structure of semiconductors. It reveals the dislocations density, type of conductivity, crystal’s orientation, inclusions/precipitates, twins. This article is the review of selective etching of ZnxCd1-xTe single crysrals. All informations has been generalized in the table. Qualitative and quantitative compositions of etchants and information about defect structure of
ZnxCd1-xTe after etchant treatment have been represented in the table.
