Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve nonuniformity of electrical characteristics of single crystal of compound semiconductor of group III-V, by heat-treating at a specific temperature single crystal of compound semiconductor of group III-V pulled up by single crystal pulling method. CONSTITUTION:Single crystal of compound semiconductor of group III-V pulled up by a usually usable single crystal pulling method, namely liquid sealing Czochralski method is treated by a means to suppress volatilization of volatile elements among constituent elements of the single crystal. Then, the single crystal is directly heat-treated directly in an ingot state at >=700 deg.C the melting point (1,237 deg.C in the case of GaAs) of the single crystal for >=30min. The single crystal of compound semiconductor of group III-V thus obtained can improve easily and extremely nonuniformity of electrical characteristics, especially resistivity and mobility of GaAs single crystal.
