Ten Japanese gallium arsenide wafer manufacturers voluntarily formed T
he Japan Manufacturers' Society of Compound Semiconductor Materials (J
AMS-CS) in 1983. This report summarizes the theories, the systems, and
the operations of gallium arsenide production: the gradient freeze (G
F) method, the liquiden-capsulated Czochralski (LEC) method, the wafer
processing, the vapor-phase epitaxial (VPE) growth method, the liquid
-phase epitaxial (LPE) growth method, the metalorganic chemical vapor
deposition (MO-CVD) method and the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) meth
od.
