Room-temperature scanning photoluminescence (SPL) measurements were performed on Fe-doped semi-insulating InP wafers obtained from various suppliers. It was found that defects and inhomogeneities such as short- and long-range doping striations, dislocations, and subsurface extended defects are associated with specific ‘‘signatures’’ in SPL images, regardless of the origin of the samples. Because SPL measurements are fast and nondestructive, they appear to be useful for the evaluation of this material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
