Abstract

A 45 mm long In0.05 Ga0.95 As ternary bulk crystal with an extremely uniform composition has succeeded to be grown at a constant temperature by the liquid encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) method with a continuous supply of only GaAs to the pseudobinary InAs-GaAs growth melt. A double crucible which has both growth and source melt zones has been developed to improve the controllability of die supply of GaAs to the melt. These zones are separated by a cylindrical wall with a slit through which source elements are continuously supplied from die source melt zone to the growth melt zone. These results demonstrate mat large and uniform InGaAs bulk crystals can be grown using the constant temperature LEC method with a double crucible and with a continuous supply of only GaAs.
