This Specification covers the substrate requirements for monocrystalline high-purity indium phosphide wafers used in semiconductor and electronic device manufacturing. Dimensional and crystallographic orientation characteristics are the only standardized properties set forth below.
A complete purchase specification may require that additional physical, electrical, and bulk properties be defined. These properties are listed together with test methods suitable for determining their magnitude where such procedures are documented.
This Specification is directed specifically to indium phosphide wafers with one or both sides polished. Unpolished wafers or wafers with epitaxial films are not covered; however, purchasers of such wafers may find these specifications helpful in defining their requirements.
