Vertical gradient freeze GaAs: Growth and electrical properties
Abstract
We have investigated the influence of silicon contamination prevention methods on the electrical properties of GaAs grown by the Vertical Gradient Freeze (VGF) technique. We report the effectiveness of these methods for GaAs crystals grown from two different starting materials: n-type with resistivities in the range of 10/sup /minus/1/ to 10/sup 3/ ..cap omega..-cm and semi-insulating (SI) with a resistivity of 10/sup 8/ ..cap omega..-cm. We have found that the impurities in the starting materials, specifically boron, carbon and silicon, have an effect on the ability to control silicon contamination with methods that have been reported previously in the literature. We also report the attainment of SI crystals using a PBN crucible, a SI charge and B/sub 2/O/sub 3/ encapsulation. 61 refs., 13 figs., 7 tabs.
