Abstract
Semiinsulating GaAs crystals employing LPLEC technique should be grown from the Ga-rich melt due to a very low incorporation of unintentional impurities such as carbon (<$10^{15}cm^{-3}$). High resisitivity of this material can be derived from the balanced compensation among not only EL2 deep donors and carbon acceptors but also H1 double charge native acceptors(Ev + 77meV, Ev + 200 meV) and H2 native acceptors(Ev + 68 meV). Considering of the complicated compensation mechanism using statistical calculation of the electron occupancy of each level, SI GaAs crystal with low impurity contents(<$10^{15}cm^{-3}$) can be successfully obtained by maintaining the melt composition around 0.45 As mole fraction.
