Benefits of technology

The present invent describes an improved way to detect tiny particles called twinning (also known as dislocations) that can occur at certain points along the crystal lattice structure inside Indium Phosphides. This technology provides stable results over time without causing damage or affects other materials like silicon dioxide used in electronic devices such as transistors. It also allows for controlled corrosive speeds which are important because they help improve manufacturing processes by reducing cost savings compared to traditional methods involving harsh chemical treatments.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the quality of indiphosphides during manufacturing processes due to their potential use as electronic device materials or as precursors for various applications like light emitting diodes and quantum well structures. These defects may lead to reduced performance of these products when incorporated into certain types of electronic equipment. To address this issue, methods have developed specifically targeted towards identifying specific areas where twinning occurs while minimizing damage from degradative environments.

Abstract

The invention relates to a corrosion liquid and corrosion method for identifying twin crystals on the surface of indium phosphide, and belongs to the field of semiconductor materials. The corrosion liquid for identifying the twin crystals on the surface of the indium phosphide is prepared from, by volume, 30-70% of hydrochloric acid, 0-35% of hydrogen peroxide and 20-70% of acetic acid. The corrosion method for identifying the twin crystals on the surface of the indium phosphide comprises the following steps of (1) soaking an indium phosphide wafer with alcohol; (2) washing the surface of theindium phosphide wafer with deionized water; (3) putting the indium phosphide wafer into the corrosion liquid for soaking; (4) washing the surface of the indium phosphide wafer with deionized water, and drying the indium phosphide wafer; (5) observing the surface of the indium phosphide wafer under a fluorescent lamp and marking twin crystal distribution. The corrosion liquid and the corrosion method are used for identifying the twin crystals on the surface of the indium phosphide, the stability and repeatability are high, and the corrosion speed is controllable.
