Abstract:Indium phosphide (InP) polycrystals were synthesized by Horizontal Gradient Freeze method.The influence of different temperature gradients on the ratio of polycrystals was analyzed, The results show that the crystals are indium-rich with a ratio of less than 97% when temperature gradient is lower than 4 ℃/cm, and the crystals are stoichiometric with a ratio of more than 99% when temperature gradient is above 5 ℃/cm. Impurities and Electrical property of polycrystalline samples were analyzed by glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) and Hall test. The purity of stoichiometric InP polycrystals is above 99.99999%, and the carrier concentration is below 8×1015 cm-3, the mobility is above 3900 cm2V-1s-1. The impurities in polycrystal mainly include Si, S, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, etc. The sources of impurities and their effects on properties of the materials were analyzed.
