2. GaAs Wafer Market & Application
Gallium arsenide is an important semiconductor material. It belongs to group III-V compound semiconductors and the zinc blende crystal lattice structure, with a lattice constant of 5.65×10-10m, a melting point of 1237°C, and a band gap of 1.4 electron volts. Gallium arsenide can be made into semi-insulating high-resistance materials, which can be used to make integrated circuit substrates, infrared detectors, gamma photon detectors, etc. Because its electron mobility is 5 to 6 times greater than silicon, SI GaAs substrate has been importantly used in the fabrication of microwave devices and high-speed digital circuits. Semiconductor devices fabricated on gallium arsenide have the advantages of high frequency, high temperature, low temperature performance, low noise, and strong radiation resistance, which make the GaAs substrate market enlarge.
3. Test certificate of GaAs wafer can include below analysis if necessary:
1/Surface roughness of Gallium Arsenide including front side and backside(nanometers).
2/Doping concentration of Gallium Arsenide(cm-3)
3/EPD of Gallium Arsenide(cm-2)
4/Mobility of Gallium Arsendie(V.sec)
5/X-ray diffraction analysis (rocking curves) of Gallium Arsenide: Diffraction reflection curve half-width
6/Low-temperature photoluminescence (emission spectra in the range 0.7-1.0 μm) of Gallium Arsenide: The fraction of exciton photoluminescence in the emission spectrum of the near-IR range at a temperature of 4K or 5 K and an optical excitation density of 1 W / cm2
7/Transmission rate or Absorption coefficient: for instant, we can measure absorption coefficient of single crystal undoped GaAs at 1064nm: <0.6423 cm-1, and this corresponds to a transmission minimum of 33.2% for an exactly 6.5mm thick blank at 1064nm.
Remark：
The Chinese government has announced new limits on the exportation of Gallium materials (such as GaAs, GaN, Ga2O3, GaP, InGaAs, and GaSb) and Germanium materials used to make semiconductor chips. Starting from August 1, 2023, exporting these materials is only allowed if we obtains a license from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. Hope for your understanding and cooperation!

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.

PAM-XIAMEN offers 2”, 3”, 4” and 6” germanium wafer, which is short for Ge wafer grown by VGF / LEC. Lightly doped P and N type Germanium wafer can be also used for Hall effect experiment. At room temperature, crystalline germanium is brittle and has little plasticity. Germanium has semiconductor properties. High-purity germanium is doped with trivalent elements (such as indium, gallium, boron) to obtain P-type germanium semiconductors; and pentavalent elements (such as antimony, arsenic, and phosphorus) are doped to obtain N-type germanium semiconductors. Germanium has good semiconductor properties, such as high electron mobility and high hole mobility.
