GaAs - Gallium Arsenide

Wafer Technology offers single crystal Gallium Arsenide grown at low pressure from high purity polycrystalline Gallium Arsenide in a vertical temperature gradient (VGF-Vertical Gradient Freeze).

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Gallium Arsenide can be supplied in as-cut, etched or polished wafer forms. All slices are individually laser scribed with ingot and slice identity to ensure perfect traceability.

Gallium Antimonide (GaAs)

ORIENTATION SPECIFICATIONS

Surface orientations are offered to an accuracy of +/- 0.05 degrees using a triple axis X-Ray diffractometer system. Substrates can also be supplied with very precise misorientations in any direction from the growth plane. Higher index substrates of the type (n,1,1) where n = 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc and orientations such as (110) are also available. We also offer wafers with cut and/or cleaved flats.

SURFACE SPECIFICATIONS

All wafers are offered with high quality epitaxy ready finishing. Surfaces are characterised by in-house, advanced optical metrology techniques which include Surfscan haze and particle monitoring, spectroscopic ellipsometry and grazing incidence interferometry.
