InP crystal growth by modified SSD method

변형된 SSD법에 의한 InP결정 성장

The InP crystals have been grown by modified synthesis solute diffusion (SSD) method and its properties have been investigated. The crystals have been grown by lowering the crucible quartz for growth in the furnace and crystal growth rate is 1.8mm/day. The lattice constant a. of the grown crystals is 5.867.angs.. Etch pits density along growth direction of crystal changes from 3.0*10.sup 3/cm$\^$-2/ of first freeze part to 6.7*10$\^$4/cm$\^$-2/ of last freeze part and the radial direction of wafer shows nearly uniform distribution. The resistivity and the carrier concentration of the grown crystals are 1.43*10$\^$-1/.ohm.-cm, 7.7*10$\^$15/cm$\^$-3/ at room temperature, respectively. In the photolurninescence at 10K, the radiation transitions are observed by the near band edge recombination, a pair recombination due to Si donor - Zn acceptor and its phonon replica in the InP. The activation energy by Zn diffusion in undoped n-InP crystals is 1.22eV.
