Processing and Characterization of 5 Inch InSb Wafer
Indium antimonide (InSb) materials have been widely used in infrared photoelectric detectors and other fields because of their special properties. With the development of larger arrays of midinfrared focal plane detectors and a growing demand for lowcost InSb infrared detectors, the desired size for the InSb wafers also increases. In this paper, a new structure of graphite rest and high precision low damage single line cutting were combined to develop a 5 inch InSb crystal oriented segmentation. Low damage edge chamfering techniques while optimizing grinding parameters were used to improve the grinding of 5 inch InSb wafers. An optimized mounting process were used to further improve the flatness of polished 5 inch InSb wafers. Furthermore, the pH value and polishing solution ratio were optimized to improve the surface quality of 5 inch InSb wafers. At the same time, the crystal orientation and deviation, polished surface macroscopic quality, geometric parameters, surface roughness and lattice quality of 5 inch InSb wafers were analyzed using an Xray crystal orientation instrument and atomic force microscope. The test results show that, high quality 5 inch InSb wafers can be created more readily by this newly optimized process, helping to meet the current demand for InSb materials in IR detectors and other fields.
