Abstract

Favorable-quality III-V crystals are easily obtained at low cost without causing cracks, even when using a variety of substrates, and can be used to manufacture semiconductor devices with good quality and at high yields. The III-V crystals are characterized by the following properties: the carrier concentration, resistivity, and dislocation density of the III-V compound crystal are uniform to within ±30% variation along the surface; the III-V compound crystal is misoriented from the c-plane such that the crystal surface does not include any region where its off-axis angle with the c-plane is 0°; and the full width at half-maximum in XRD at the crystal center of the III-V compound is not greater than 150 arcsec.
