Abstract :
We have developed low EPD and homogeneous 2" InP crystals using a newly developed thermal baffle. The average EPD of Sn doped InP can be reduced to less than 3000 cm-2. The minimum avenge EPD was about 200 cm-2. Visible facets can be observed and the crystal is somewhat rectangular. No lineage type defects were observed even in the last portion of the crystal. Dislocation free (DF) S doped InP crystals can be obtained with low S concentration using the newly developed baffle. The minimum S concentration was 1.7×1018 cm-3
