Abstract

The growth of InP crystals from the melt is discussed on the basis of new data on the pTx relations for the In/P system in the vicinity of stoichiometric InP. The preparation of nominally undoped n-type material by the gradient-freeze technique with visual control of the seeding process is described. Zn- and Cd-doped p-type crystals were prepared in a modified almost-isothermal apparatus in order to obtain uniform stoichiometry and regular dopant distribution. The crystals were characterized in terms of their chemical purity, dopant distribution, physical defects and electrical properties.
