Abstract
Inhomogeneities in highly Te-doped, melt-grown GaAs crystals carrier concentrations more than 1.6×1018 cm-3 have been investigated using etching technique, X-ray anomalous transmission, and electron microprobe analysis. Microstrains, arising from impurity precipitates produced either fine etch pits on the etched surface or contrast of small specks on the X-ray topographs. A microprecipitates-free was observed around a dislocation, and qualitatively analyzed. Small angle boundaries were observed, and the impurity concentration difference across the boundary was detected.
