Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium arsenide monocrystal growing method. The gallium arsenide monocrystal growing method comprises the following steps: putting a gallium arsenide polycrystal raw material into PNB (phosphorus nitrogen boron) crucibles in which seed crystals are put in advance; putting the PNB crucibles on a descending table in a growing furnace, wherein 1-5 PNB crucibles are put on the descending table; adjusting the furnace temperature of the growing furnace to 1200-1300 DEG C so as to rotate the descending table while descending the descending table after the tops of the seed crystals are melted; after crystal growing, moving the PNB crucibles to a constant-temperature area in the growing furnace to perform in-situ annealing on GaAs (gallium arsenide) crystals, wherein in the annealing process, the temperature in the growing furnace is controlled at 950-1100 DEG C, and the annealing time is 8-12 h; and cooling the GaAs crystals to room temperature at a speed rate of 20-70 DEG C per hour, thus obtaining GaAs monocrystals. By the gallium arsenide monocrystal growing method, the grown crystals are small in thermal stress, good in uniformity and relatively low in dislocation density.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of crystal growth, in particular to a growth method of gallium arsenide single crystal. Background technique [0002] Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is one of the most important and widely used semiconductor materials in compound semiconductors, and it is also the most mature and produced compound semiconductor material. Because gallium arsenide has the characteristics of high electron mobility (5 to 6 times that of silicon), large band gap (1.43eV, 1.1eV for silicon) and direct band gap, it is easy to be made into semi-insulating material. It has low carrier concentration, good photoelectric characteristics, and also has excellent characteristics such as heat resistance, strong radiation resistance and sensitivity to magnetic fields. Devices made of gallium arsenide materials have good frequency response, fast speed, and high operating temperature, which can meet the needs of integrated optoelectronics. It is currently th...
