Abstract

Undoped liquid encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) InP samples have been studied by Hall effect, glow discharge mass spectroscopy (GDMS) and infrared absorption spectroscopy. A systematic discrepancy has been found between the Hall electron concentration and net donor concentration measured by GDMS. The electron concentration is always higher than the net shallow donor concentration by about (3-6)/spl times/10/sup 15/ cm/sup -3/. A hydrogen indium vacancy complex donor defect V/sub In/H/sub 4/ was detected regularly by infrared absorption spectroscopy in all undoped LEC InP samples. The fact can be explained by taking into account the existence of the donor defect in as-grown undoped LEC-InP.
