Abstract

A thermal cracking apparatus for cracking organic or inorganic gases is described. More particularly, the thermal cracker cracks inorganic gases such as arsine and phosphine for use in the growth of III-V compound semiconductor layers. The design of the apparatus minimizes the uptake of contaminants into the cracked gas stream.
