Indium(III) antimonide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesCrystalline solid.
Physical propertiesBlack cubic crystal; zincblende structure; density 5.775 g/cm3; melts at525°C; density of melt 6.48 g/mL; dielectric constant 15.9; insoluble in water.
UsesIndium antimonide finds use in infrared detectors, including FLIR systems, thermal imaging cameras, infrared astronomy and in infrared homing missile guidance systems, in fast transistors. It is used in thermal image detectors using photo-electromagnetic detectors or photodiodes.
UsesCrystal structure: Zinc blende structure, cubic
UsesIn semiconductor electronics. Grown p-n junctions(Indium(III) antimonide) have been made by doping a melt with an acceptor impurity such as zinc or cadmium, and dipping in an n-type crystal. Rate-grown junctions have also been made. Broad-area surface junctions have been produced by out-diffusing antimony in vacuum from the surface of an n-type crystal, producing a p-n junction just inside the surface. Also has photoconductive, photoelectromagnetic, and magnetoresistive properties. Useful as an infrared detector and filter, and in Hall effect devices.
Production MethodsIntermetallic semiconductors of indium are formed fromgroup III and group V elements, requiring very high purityof the elements (0.1 ppm).
PreparationIndium antimonide may be synthesized from its elements by fusion of sto-ichiometric amounts of indium and antimony at elevated temperatures in anevacuated, sealed ampule.
Production MethodsSingle crystals are grown by using the Kyropoulus method—by pulling up from the melt composedof stoichiometric In and Sb because both elements have low vapor pressure. Impurities are Zn andCd, which cannot be removed by zone refining. As a result, it is important to use pure sourcematerials. It is soft and fragile, and it is required to be cut carefully by a diamond cutter. The samepolishing method for Si and Ge is possible.
Films are deposited using the vapor phase method. In and Sb (or In(CH3) and SbH3) areencapsuled in a vacuum and these source materials are heated to evaporate and then depositedon the substrate placed at a lower temperature portion. The electrical properties of the filmsdeposited by this method are slightly different from those of bulk.
General DescriptionThis product has been enhanced for energy efficiency.
HazardSee indium; antimony.
Structure and conformationThe space lattice of InSb belongs to the cubic system and zinc-blende-type structure called InSb-Iat room temperature and under atmospheric pressure has a lattice constant of a=0.64789 nm andIn–Sb=0.280 nm. A single crystal has cleavage of (110) plane. It transforms to white tin-typeInSb-II at high temperatures and under high pressure.
