Correlation between Dislocation Distribution and FET Performances Observed in Low Cr Doped LEC GaAs

Abstract
Definitive correlation between dislocation distribution and distribution of FET performances in low Cr (0.155∼0.180 wt ppm) doped LEC GaAs was obtained by simultaneous characterization of (100) and (010) wafers. Drain-source currents (I ds) in the high EPD area were higher than those in the low EPD area. Micro-scale correlation between lineage-like dislocations and I ds distribution was also clearly observed. Implications of these results on the size of a dislocation-influenced area are discussed.
