Undoped, Indium Antimonide Substrate, 3”, Prime Grade
PAM-XIAMEN offers InSb wafer – Indium Antimonide which are grown by LEC(Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski) as epi-ready or mechanical grade with n type, p type or undoped in different orientation(111)or(100).Indium antimonide (InSb) is a crystalline compound made from the elements indium (In) and antimony (Sb). It is a narrow-gap semiconductor material from the III-V group used in infrared detectors, including thermal imaging cameras, FLIR systems, infrared homing missile guidance systems, and in infrared astronomy. The indium antimonide detectors are sensitive between 1–5 µm wavelengths.

For pure InSb at T≥250K lifetime of carrier (electrons and holes) is determined by Auger recombination:
τn = τp ≈1/C ni2,
where C≈5·10-26 cm-6 s-1 is the Auger coefficient.
ni is the intrinsic carrier concentration.
