Abstract

Highly uniform InGaAsP/InP epitaxial growth has been performed using a 12.5-cm-diameter susceptor capable of holding three symmetrically placed, 5-cm-diameter wafers. Uniformity was investigated in thickness, wavelength, lattice mismatch, and doping. With a 5-mm edge exclusion, photoluminescence mapping results of InGaAsP layers show that the total variation in peak wavelength is less than +or-5 nm. Results from wafer-to-wafer uniformity in a single run show that the standard deviation over three-wafer mapping is approximately 2.62 nm. The lattice mismatch mapping also shows the standard deviation of 2.21*10/sup -4/ with the maximum variation of 8.55*10/sup -4/. These uniformities are comparable to the results of single-wafer systems.<>
