There is a strong need for crystals with low dislocation densities for both conductive and semi-insulating substrates (Table 1). GalnAsP semiconductor lasers for optical communication at 1.55 J.Lm band and GaInAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) employing InP sub strates have appeared on the market. To realize an optoelectronic inte grated circuit (OEIC), the development of a semi-insulating substrate crystal has been started. An OEle has transistors and optical devices integrated on the same wafer. A semi-insulating wafer is considered to be the most suitable substrate for an OEle because of the easy isolation of its devices. Furthermore, as the thermal resistivity of InP is small (two thirds that of GaAs), high power dissipation is permissible. If semi-insu lating InP wafers are applied to transistors, the fabrication of a metal insulator semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET) is possible. The substrate quality is evaluated in terms of its dislocation density, purity, uniformity, and other properties. Low dislocation density conductive substrates (dislocation density <5 x 10 cm-2) heavily doped with S (n type) or Zn (p type) to a level of 1019 cm-3 are commercially available from several companies. They are
