Micron scale birefringence mapping of 1 cm/sup 2/ portions of 3" semi-insulating GaAs wafers shows fluctuations over characteristic dimensions between 50 and 500 /spl mu/m, with magnitudes as large as 1/5 wavelength. The results are compared to those of more familiar characterisation tools, scanning photolurninescence mapping and x-ray topography. Scanning birefringence mapping resolves some of the same features as the other techniques, for example through wafer strain free low angle grain boundaries, while containing unique information related to the strain in the wafer. A model for the observed correlation is presented, and implications for substrate electro-optic probing are discussed.

The capacitive charge transient measurement technique generates laterally resolved two-dimensional resistivity topograms of wafers with diameters up to 150 mm. The method is applicable to semi-insulating substrates with resistivities between 10/sup 6/ and 10/sup 9//spl Omega/cm. The range and characteristic lateral patterns of homogeneity variations in substrates of different vendors will be addressed, including LEC GaAs, VB GaAs and LEC InP. The effect of annealing treatments and interrelations between electrical and optical topograms will also be discussed.

Different microdefects have been identified in Fe-doped semi-insulating InP: i) very small defects located on dislocations, ii) relatively large precipitates embedded in the matrix, surrounded by a spherical volume depleted of iron, iii) large inclusions in the heavily doped crystal tails. Investigations of these defects by Photoetching, Scanning Photoluminescence, SEM and TEM suggest that: i) the large inclusions are due to incorporation of second-phase particles (FeP, FeP2) which form in the melt as it becomes very rich in iron, ii) the matrix precipitates are possibly the result of iron gathering around a collection point, iii) the small defects are different, in nature, from those containing iron and thought to be either very small precipitates or microloops.

Ingot annealing has been applied to semi-insulating GaAs grown by the vertical Bridgman (VB) method. Significant changes in resistivity and mobility have been observed. In addition, major improvements in uniformity have also been seen. We have designed a multi-temperature ingot annealing process tailored specifically for the low dislocation density GaAs produced by the VB process. A model has been developed based on the dissolution of As precipitates and uniform redistribution of the arsenic that explains the annealing results we observe.

A new modification of DLTS applicable to semi-insulating (SI) materials based on simultaneous capacitance C(t) and ac conductance G(t) transient analysis, Admittance Transient Spectroscopy (ATS), is introduced. Formulas for C(t), G(t), their differential dC(t), dG(t) and correlated Sc(T), SG(T) forms are presented. The most important features of the ATS based on the simulation are summarized. ATS was applied to the investigation of deep-level states in bulk undoped and low temperature MBE SI GaAs. Some of the results are briefly discussed in the context of the previously published ones.

The incorporation of silicon donor (SiGa) and beryllium acceptor (BeGa) impurities in molecular beam epitaxial GaAs is studied as a function of growth temperature (Tg) by measuring their localized vibrational modes (LVMs) at 77 K using the infrared absorption technique. The total integrated absorption of the SiGa and BeGa LVMs observed at 383.5 and 482.0 cm/sup -1/, respectively, is decreased as Tg decreases. The SiGa and BeGa LVMs in samples grown at Tg /spl ges/ 350 /spl deg/C are observed only after reducing the free carrier absorption by irradiating the samples with a 2.1 MeV electron beam [doses /spl sim/(5-l0)x10/sup 17/ cm/sup -2/. On the other hand, the secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) show that the densities of Si and Be atoms remain approximately constant as Tg decreases. The reduction of the total integrated absorption of SiGa and BeGa LVMs as Tg is decreased suggests a nonsubstitutional incorporation of these impurities in samples grown at at low temperature.

MBE AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures have been grown on semi-insulating GaAs wafers that received a standard pre-deposition wet chemical etch, while other wafers were subjected to ultraviolet-ozone radiation in addition to the standard pre clean. The ultraviolet-ozone radiation serves to reduce the concentration of carbon on the GaAs wafer surface. Enhancement and depletion mode field effect transistors were fabricated on these wafers. Device anomalies associated with the presence of deep levels were found for the standard cleaned wafers. We present device properties such as current-voltage characteristics, sidegating effects, photoresponse characteristics and output impedance measurements for both wafer preparations. Thermal activation energies for the deep acceptor level were determined from temperature and frequency dependent impedance measurements and conductance deep level transient spectroscopy. The occupation of this deep level for the standard cleaned wafers is explained in terms of the interfacial carbon concentration.

The present status of crystal growth technology for preparing s.i. GaAs and InP is briefly reviewed considering LEC-techniques and improved versions as wen as Vertical Bridgman techniques. In the second part the post growth thermal treatment of crystals and wafers is discussed. Ingot and wafer annealing are commonly used procedures to improve the material properties of s.i. GaAs. Wafer annealing has only recently gained attraction for 10 since the preparation of nominally undoped s.i. InP has been demonstrated by our group. Finally the potential of new developments in the processing of s.i. III-V bulk growth will be discussed.
