Abstract

InP crystal is an increasingly important semiconductor material in the application of long-wave optoelectronic and high frequency devices. The equilibrium vapor pressure of phosphorus at the melting point of InP is so high that the synthesis process is very difficult. Liquid-encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) pulling from the melt at high pressure is a generally favored technique to grow InP single crystals. This technique involves two steps: the synthesis of polycrystalline powder and the growth of single crystal from the melt at high pressure. This article reviewed the latest development in the preparation of InP crystal and the evaluation on the crystal quality.
