Indium antimonide was doped with lead under liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) conditions, permitting the composition of the starting phase and the temperature of the process to be varied within wide limits. To obtain the maximum solubility of lead at any chosen LPE temperature it was used as a metallic solvent. It was found that the solubility of lead in indium antimonide at 450-350/sup 0/C does not exceed 0.07 wt. %. Introduction of Pb does not change the dislocation density substantially in the layers grown. From the results of electrophysical investigations it follows that lead dissolves in indium antimonide upon crystallization from lead solution-melts, predominantly substituting for the indium atoms.
