Indium Antimonide (InSb)

  • Chapter

Abstract

Indium antimonide (InSb) has the smallest band gap of any of the III–V semiconductors (E o∼0.18 eV at 300 K, Ref. [1]). InSb is, thus, an interesting semiconductor for use in long-wavelength optoelectronic device applications. Its relatively high electron mobility (μn∼7×104 cm2/V-s at 300 K, Ref. [1]) makes it an attractive material for use in galvanomagnetic and Seebeck device applications. InSb also has the lowest melting point (T m=800 K) and largest lattice constant (a 0 =6.47931 Å at 298.15 K) among the III–V semiconductors [1].
