Abstract

Surface passivation of indium phosphide substrate. The process consists in: subjecting the substrate to cleaning without application of ultrasounds, soaking, for a duration of between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, the substrate in an aqueous solution of complex arsenic ions maintained at a temperature of between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., abundantly rinsing the substrate in deionized water.
