Growth of Low and Homogeneous Dislocation Density GaAs Crystal by Improved LEC Technique

Abstract
An improved LEC technique of enhanced heating of B2O3 encapsulant layer through the windows of susceptor cylinder is described. By this technique, low temperature gradients of 10∼25°C/cm in the axial direction and 5°C/cm in the radial direction were achieved. Two-inch diameter crystals grown by this technique with a slow cooling rate exhibited quite low dislocation density of 8×103 to low 104 cm-2 order from front to tail of the crystal.
