Features Of InAs Single Crystal Substrate

  1. High-purity single-crystal structure with low dislocation density (< 5 × 10⁴ cm⁻²) for superior epitaxial growth fidelity.

  2. Excellent electron mobility (> 30,000 cm²/V·s at 300 K) enabling high-speed and low-noise electronic devices.

  3. Natural (100) crystal orientation with controlled off-cut angles (±0.1°) for optimized heteroepitaxy of III–V compound semiconductors.

  4. Chemically stable surface after standard RCA cleaning, supporting reliable thin-film deposition and device fabrication.

  5. Consistent wafer flatness (TTV < 1.0 µm) and surface roughness (Ra < 0.2 nm), verified by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Typical Applications Of InAs Single Crystal Substrate

  1. Epitaxial growth platform for high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs).

  2. Substrate for infrared photodetectors operating in the 3–5 µm mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectral range.

  3. Base material for monolithic integration of InAs-based quantum dots and nanowires in quantum computing research.

  4. Template for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of InGaAs/InAlAs heterostructures.

  5. Reference substrate in semiconductor metrology and calibration of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) systems.

InAs Single Crystal Substrate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for InAs?

A: The CAS Number for indium arsenide (InAs) is 12055-87-5.


Q2: Is InAs substrate suitable for aqueous processing or wet chemical etching?

A: InAs is susceptible to oxidation and hydrolysis in ambient air and water; all processing must be performed under inert atmosphere or using non-aqueous, anhydrous etchants (e.g., bromine-methanol or HCl-isopropanol).


Q3: How does InAs compare to GaSb and InSb substrates for MWIR detector applications?

A: InAs offers higher electron mobility and better thermal stability than InSb, and a more favorable lattice match to critical absorber layers (e.g., InAsSb) than GaSb—making it preferred for high-operating-temperature (HOT) MWIR focal plane arrays.


Q4: Are there any known extractables or leachables from InAs wafers during device fabrication?

A: Trace indium and arsenic species may be detected under aggressive acidic cleaning (e.g., concentrated HCl); however, standard RCA-1/RCA-2 followed by dilute HF dip yields extractable levels below 1 ppb per ICP-MS testing—well within semiconductor process control limits.


Q5: Does your InAs substrate carry ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certification?

A: Our InAs substrate manufacturing process is certified to ISO 9001:2015; IATF 16949 applies only to automotive component production and is not applicable to bare semiconductor substrates.
