| Research Abstract |
Binary compound semiconductors have become extermely important in the field of semiconductor devices. On the other hand, it is difficult to obtain a large size, high quality single crystal for a semiconductor composed of more than three elements belonging to different groups whish is a so-called multinary compound semiconductor. Therefore, such a semiconductor has been only of interest in research for material properties. A chalcopyrire type compound has been a target of interest as a ternary compound semiconductor. In this work we present the relations between several properties and mean atomic weight and the relations between the crystal ionicity and material properties in chalcopyrite type semiconductors. These factors are used to obtain some guiding principles for dasigning the materials with the desired characteristics in chalcopyrite type mixed crystal semiconductors. As a result, contour maps of gap energy of forbidden band and lattice matching parameter for these materials were obtained. This methos of designing materials is confirmed experimentally for I-III-VI_2 type mixed crystal semiconductors.
