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. [...]
