Abstract:
The present review examines recent work on the synthesis of polycrystalline specimens of indium phosphide and the growth of single crystals of this compound for the modern electronics industry. The synthesis of polycrystalline indium phosphide by different methods is examined. Particular attention has been paid to work on the preparation of highly pure material and the growth of single crystals with a low concentration of dislocations and single crystals oriented along <100>. The bibliography contains 45 references.
