Abstract
A review is presented of the current technical status of large-diameter GaAs crystal growth, the effects of residual impurities, stoichiometric defects and crystalline imperfections on the electrical properties of undoped semi-insulating GaAs, and the effectiveness of Group III and V isovalent, lattice-hardening dopants in yielding dislocation-free, semi-insulating GaAs crystals. Factors related to crystal growth, postgrowth annealing, and the preparation of ultraflat, damage-free GaAs wafers, which can significantly improve the performance and yields of directly implanted devices and monolithic circuits are discussed.Keywords
