Iron doped InP wafers have been submitted to different thermal treatme
nts. The consequences of these treatments in terms of electrical prope
rties and homogeneity were studied by mean of different experimental t
echniques: Hall effect, DSL and BCA chemical etching and scanning phot
ocurrent. The electric compensation and the homogeneity are shown to b
e improved by the thermal treatments. These results are discussed on t
he bases of donor removal and iron migration to the wafer edges. (C) 1
