Abstract

The rapid growth of device applications using the compound semiconductors, particularly, the arsenides and phosphides, has spurred the development of unique high-pressure methods for the growth of large single crystals of these volatile compounds. The production of single crys­tals using liquid-encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) crystal growth methods at furnace pressures up to 100 atm has matured to a point where it has now become a safe and acceptable production operation in the electronics industry in the United States and Japan. With the availability of reliable high-pressure furnace systems, the growth of a wide variety of single crystals from stoichiometric melts having volatile or pressure-sensitive components is becoming increas­ingly feasible and practical.
