Abstract

For the undoped semi-insulating LEC GaAs crystal, microscopic inhomogeneity was investigated on the fixed position by using cathodoluminescence (CL), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), X-ray topography (XRT) and scanning leakage current measurement (IL). Microscale fluctuations observed in these measurements were attributed to the cellular dislocation structures. It was suggested that the impurity gettering effect of dislocation plays an important role in the semi-insulation mechanism in GaAs crystal. Carriers are inactive in the boundary region of cell structures but are active in the inner region of cell structures.
