Abstract

Bulk 4" GaSb crystal growth methods based on the Czochralski technique are detailed which deliver highly mono-crystalline substrates that are characterized by low dislocation densities. The latest developments in epitaxy-ready surface finishing will be described and results presented for 4” GaSb substrates processed on a large format, commercial multiwafer polishing platform. Bulk material quality assessments will be made and the surface condition of bare substrates and epitaxial material grown on top of 4" GaSb substrates will be assessed by various surface analytical techniques. We will comment on the available production capacity for 4" GaSb and remark on the scaling challenges that will be required to support the anticipated increase in demand for large diameter GaSb substrates.
