A fracture criterion for gallium arsenide wafers

A fracture criterion for gallium arsenide wafers

The fracture of single crystal gallium arsenide (GaAs) semi-conducting wafers was studied. Prismatic beam specimens, cut at different crystallographic orientations from thin wafers, were loaded to failure in four-point bending. Fracture in these crystals occurred predominantly on the {110} family of crystallographic planes. The critical normal and shear stresses on the primary {110} failure planes of the specimens at failure were calculated and a plane stress failure envelope was determined. A model to predict the likelihood of failure at any stress state was developed. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed that failure in bending was initiated from surface defects that approximate semi-elliptical cracks on the tension side.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.
