Moreover, on the case of crystal growth by means of Bridgeman method under microgravity, the study on convection of melts and segregation phenomena were performed, and based on this study, the possibility obtaining the ternary crystal with homogeneous composition by conducting crystal growth under microgravity was investigated. The segregation coefficient of Ga in InGaAs crystal made by HB method on ground surface was 3.2 and the segregation coefficient of Ga in InGaAs made under microgravity was 2.6. In part of the seed crystal, because of thin diameter (4 mm), although it was expected that segregation coefficient would become 1, that is, composition of Ga would become homogeneous, homogenization of Ga composition was not reached. Accordance of these results with the predictions by Camel theory led to the conclusion of that in InGaAs system, it was difficult to homogenize Ga composition even in crystal growth under microgravity. However, when InGaAs crystal in grown by means of VB method, it is found out to be possible to obtain a crystal with homogeneous distribution of Ga composition. The transitional region of Ga concentration was observed in the initial part of this crystal. The phenomenon of homogenization of Ga composition in case of VB method can not be explained by Camel theory. The distribution of Ga concentration in initial transitional part fairly agreed with Tiller theory, and the equilibrium segregation coefficient of Ga was derived to be 3.1 from this theory. This value is fairly coincident with the values calculated from the results of other experiments on crystal growth. However, the diffusion coefficient of Ga in InGaAs melts calculated based on this theory is 4.1x10(exp -5) /sq cm /s. This value is three times of the value calculated from other experiments., 資料番号: AA0004116023, レポート番号: NASDA-TMR-940002 V.2}, title = {無重力環境下における化合物半導体結晶の作製(InGaAsの研究)}, year = {1994} }
