PAM-XIAMEN provides indium arsenide (InAs) ingot with high quality and competitive price. Indium arsenide is a group III-V compound semiconductor material composed of indium and arsenic. It is a silver-gray solid at room temperature, and the indium arsenide crystal structure is a zinc blende crystal structure with a lattice constant of 0.6058nm, and a density of 5.66g/cm (solid state), 5.90g/cm (liquid at the melting point). The indium arsenide energy band structure is a direct transition, and the band gap width (300K) is 0.45eV. At the melting point of InAs (942 degree), the dissociation pressure of arsenic is only 0.033MPa, and single crystals can be grown from the melt under normal pressure. Indium arsenide ingot has high electron mobility and mobility ratio (μe/μh=70), low magnetoresistance effect and small temperature coefficient of resistance. Thus, indium arsenide boule is an ideal material for manufacturing Hall devices and magnetoresistive devices. Below is the specification listed for your reference.
